The MIT women’s tennis team had a strong showing at the ITA New England Regional Championship at Middlebury, highlighted by Fiona Lee’s run to the singles “A” draw final. Lee, the No. 2 seed, finished as runner-up to earn a spot in next month’s ITA Cup in Georgia, while Saina Deshpande advanced to the semifinals and Chloe Zeng and Carley Chen reached the doubles semifinals.
