Lorne McManigle

Emory University's Lorne McManigle won the singles title at the 2009 NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championships.  McManigle, the fifth seed in the tournament, defeated Ploy Suthijindawong of the College of St. Scholastica 6-2, 6-1 in the championship match to become the second individual champion in the program's history.  The sophomore went 5-0 during the tournament, including a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (3) upset win over the bracket's fourth-seeded player in the quarterfinals.  McManigle finished her season with a 25-10 record in singles play, the ninth-best win total in the program's history.  In addition, with Emory men's tennis player Michael Goodwin's win in the men's singles tournament, it marks the third time in NCAA Division III history that the men's and women's individual champion has come from the same school.  Earlier in the week, McManigle helped the Eagles claim third place at the NCAA Team Championships, the ninth top-three finish in the program's history.
