Bondi picks up another crown

DePauw senior forward Liz Bondi, who helped lead her team to the Division III women's basketball national championship, picked up some hardware of her own with a win in the singles national final of Division III women's tennis.

Bondi, a second-team All-American by D3hoops.com and the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four this past season, faced defending champion Emily Applegate of Washington and Lee, winning 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (7-3). Bondi was a national semifinalist in 2006 and finished second in Division III in 2005.

The 2007 Intercollegiate Tennis Association Senior of the Year finished the 2006-07 season with a 31-2 singles record and a 25-3 doubles mark. Over the course of her career she compiled a 124-10 singles record and 119-15 in doubles. This year she won 63 of 68 singles sets.

Tennis helped Bondi in the basketball arena as well, as detailed in a D3hoops.com Road to Springfield feature.
