ATTLEBORO, Mass. — Three members of the Mitchell College women's tennis team have qualified to participate in this weekend's New England Collegiate Conference Championship, which will be held on October 16-17 at the Enfield Tennis Club.

The duo of Flanagan and Walsh will compete in the No. 1 doubles flight as the third seed.

The semifinals will be held on Saturday at 4:45 for all doubles matches while singles play begins at 6 p.m. The championship will conclude on Sunday with the finals brackets. Trophies will be awarded to all six singles flights' and all three doubles flights' winners.
