Carnegie Mellon's Amy Staloch, a freshman from Midland, Mich., earned All-American honors by reaching the semifinals of the NCAA Division III Women's Individual Championships this past weekend at Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo, Mich.

Unseeded Staloch lost to top-seed Lindsay Hagerman of Washington & Lee in the semifinals, 6-0, 6-2, to finish with a 26-5 record in singles. Hagerman was named the ITA Division III Women's Senior player of the year.

Staloch advanced to the semifinals with victories against Alicia Hunt, 6-4, 6-2; No. 8 Gabrielle Carvalho, 6-3, 7-5; and No. 4 Sandra Montez, 6-3, 7-5.

The top eight finishers all qualify for All-American status.

Staloch and sophomore Mona Iyer lost in the first round of doubles to finish 28-5. Staloch and Iyer earned All-American honors last fall by finishing as runner-up in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Small-College Championships at Lakeland, Fla.

Staloch was rookie of the year and first-team All-University Athletic Association and was the only player at No. 1 singles to win all her league matches. She was 7-0.

The Stanford Cardinal won its second consecutive NCAA Division I women's championship, fourth in the past five years and 14th overall with a 4-0 victory against Texas in the final at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga.

Stanford's 14 national titles are 10 more than runner-up Florida.

Stanford (27-0) completed its ninth undefeated season and stretched its match winning streak to 56 in a row and 197 of 203 in the past seven years. The Cardinal is 138-3 in Lele Forood's five years as head coach.
