...netwomen captured five of the six singles titles and all three doubles matches in the seven-team tourney, enough to accumulate nearly double the points of the second-place team, Boston University. The Crimson's lone defeat came at second singles in a hard-fought, three-set match...
...many respects the players are right, a fact some club members (perhaps tired of subsidizing a losing cause with their dues) are beginning to appreciate. The fate of the tourney is decided from year to year, committee members say; its continuation is the focus of an ongoing civil war. A major blow was the loss of the New England Merchants' National Bank as a sponsor of the event.

Though the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) has been nominally involved since 1975 with supervising Longwood, only in the last two years have ATP experts been on hand before the tourney, and only in an advisory capacity. The long-established clique that has traditionally monopolized tourney direction continues to do so--it was their unprecedented decision to pay Connors to come, despite the friction it caused among other players and the members whose dues paid his appearance...

The team finished last. With Elaine Holpuch in the pivot, the women's hoopsters posted an unimpressive 8-18 mark, fluctuating wildly between occasionally effective play and abjectly abysmal contests...
