AMHERST, MA. — The Amherst College women's tennis team swept Connecticut College on Senior Day at the Amherst Tennis Courts, closing the regular season at 10–6 overall and 7–3 in the NESCAC. The Mammoths were sharp from the opening doubles courts through the final singles match, and the win gave Amherst a fitting finish at home heading into postseason play.

Maddie Swire added another straight-set win at No. 4 to keep the Mammoths in full control. Their performances anchored a complete Amherst sweep and gave Senior Day a strong finish.
