Western New England College’s women’s tennis team recently completed an unbeaten season with help from Ellsworth native Monica Machon.
Machon, a sophomore, went 13-2 in both singles and doubles competition as the Golden Bears won 16 straight matches, the first unbeaten season in school history.
She paired with junior Jacqueline O’Brien to capture the No. 2 doubles title at the Great Northeast Athletic Conference tournament. WNEC won the tourney crown.
Machon was named the Western New England College women’s tennis rookie of the year last season, during which she had a 20-6 record.

Nichols finished with a 6-11 record overall and 2-5 in Commonwealth Coast Conference play.
