Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's tennis sophomore Kristin Lim has made history for the Athenas tennis program.

The sophomore from Honolulu captured the NCAA Division III women's singles title by defeating University of Chicago's Kendra Higgins in the finals, 6-1, 6-3 at Pomona-Pitzer's Pauley Tennis Complex last weekend. Lim's road to the finals included defeating Carleton College's Kathryn Schmidt (6-4, 6-2), Emory University's Jordan Wylie (6-2, 6-3), Middlebury College's Victoria Aiello (6-3, 6-1) and Tufts University's Julia Browne (6-1, 6-3). The C-M-S player did not lose a set in her 5 postseason matches.

Lim completes an impressive season that saw her earn 34 victories and lose only 3 times. She was also successful in doubles with partner Crystal Lim this season as the duo tallied 31 victories before losing to Division III champions Jordan Brewer-Gabby Devlin in the semifinals.

Congratulations to Lim on her memorable season.
