Thompson Kavitha Krishnamurthy Torrid start for O.T. grad Oakville Trafalgar grad Kavitha Krishnamurthy, for merly Canada's top junior tennis star, is having a blazing start to her U.S. collegiate career for Princeton. A freshman, Krishnamurthy captured the women's singles title Tuesday at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Women's East Region Championships at Harvard University. The O.T. grad beat Jessica Arthur of William & Mary 6-4, 6-4 to claim the title. By virtue of reaching the final, Krishnamurthy earned a spot in the 2000 Rolex National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, the third leg of the ITA Grand Slam Feb. 3-6 in Dallas. Fourth seeded Krishnamurthy upset No. 2 seed Martina Nedelkova of Virginia Commonwealth 6-2, 6-2. Nedelkova is No. 25 in the ITA rankings and was ranked as high as No. 2 last season. All told, Krishnamurthy won six matches in three days to claim the title. She did not lose a set the entire tourney and is on a 16-match winning streak. Krishnamurthy has quickly established herself as one of the top newcomers. She went 20-1 during the fall and regis tered wins over three players in the ITA top 50. Last month she guided Princeton to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) team tournament title. Krishnamurthy became only the second Princeton player to win the regional singles title and third ever to reach the final in the tournament's 17-year history. She's also the first player from the Ivy League to capture the regional title since Harvard's Erika deLonein `91. The four-day tournament featured the top women players from eastern U.S- colleges and universities, all ITA member institutions. The regional tourney was one of eight taking place across the U.S. during the month of November. The Oakville Trafalgar Red Devils capped off a great season with a fifth place finish at the OFSAA provincial championship.

FRONT ROW: Jennifer LeDressay, Carolyn Flowers and Sarah Dunbar. Fifth place finish at provincials The O akville T rafalgar H igh School senior girls field hockey team had a good run at the OFSAA provincial high school cham pi onships last weekend, finishing fifth. It was quite a good result for a team that had never made it to OFSAA before. Seeded seventh going in, the field conditions in Breslau were extrem e ly challenging due to a four inch snow fall but host St. Jo h n 's Kimarnock School shoveled the cir cles around the goal and the perim e ter lines so that the umpires could endeavour to call the games. O.T.'s first m atch was against Ridley College, with the eventual score a 1-1 draw. Sarah Vogt scored O.T.'s only goal on a penalty stroke midway through the first half. The team 's second gam e saw them beat Don M ills 4-0 on goals by Lindsey Stuart (23), Lisa Robertson and C aitlin H all. G oalie Gill Johnson earned the shutout. On the second day o f tournam ent play, the Red Devils were matched up against second seeded Medway H.S. By then, the snow had melted and the fields were a com bination of slush, mud and puddles. Although Medway was strong, O.T. m anaged a 0-0 tie, m ostly due to outstanding goaltending by Johnson. The score elim inated M edw ay from the tourna ment and advanced O.T. into the playoff round. Unfortunately, their quarterfinal m atch-up saw them run into 33m ember W aterloo-O xford, the topseeded team and O.T. finally lost their first game, 2-0, and were elim inated.
