Denison University first-year Esme Adelman earned wins at the No. 2 spot against Brown and Bard this week and narrowly missed the final decisive victory over higher-ranked Connecticut College, 11-9, in the fifth game. She started off the week with a 3-0 (11-5, 11-6, 11-5) sweep during Denison's 6-2 win over Brown, but then in a tough 5-4 loss to No. 27 Connecticut College later on on Friday, Adelman battled to five sets (11-5, 6-11, 7-11, 11-5, 11-9) but was just unable to close out the win. She then bounced back with a decisive 3-0 (11-2, 11-1, 11-2) sweep in Denison's 8-0 win over Bard on Saturday before falling 3-0 (11-2, 11-3, 11-5) against the No. 6-ranked team in the University of Virginia on Sunday.
