Making a racket

Williams took the "A" title, while senior Leslie Cook, freshman Laura James and junior Christine Kim, took the "B," "C" and "D" Singles, respectively.

Williams, a Raleigh, N.C. native, defeated Schweer 6-0, 6-3 in the "A" singles final to go 4-0 for the tournament. Together they defeated Marshall's Anna Mitina and Ana Ceretto 8-4 in the doubles championship match. Schweer finished 4-0 in doubles play and 2-1 in singles matches.
James and Kelly Weaver took fifth and Jen Tuchband and Christine Kim ninth in the "A" doubles for the Cavaliers. They will compete again at the Carolina Classic in Chapel Hill, N.C., Oct. 6-8.
Deacons have a Leak
Wake Forest sophomore quarterback C.J. Leak suffered ligament damage to his left knee in Saturday's 55-7 loss to Clemson and will miss the remainder of the 2000 season, Deacon coach Jim Caldwell said.
An MRI was performed on Leak following the game.
Leak, a graduate of Charlotte's Independence High, completed 30 passes for 341 yards and two interceptions in his first three games this season. The Deacons may opt to apply for a medical redshirt for Leak.
Caldwell also announced that sophomore quarterback James MacPherson may be cleared to play for the Deacs' Sept. 30 date with Virginia. He was recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery performed last spring.
