Alyssa Carlson, a sophomore from Rockford, Ill., who plays on the University of Akron tennis team,
strikes a backhand during a match at the Mastodon Invitational, a six-team college invitational hosted
by Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne in Fort Wayne, Ind. Early matches were played
in temperatures below 40° F (about 4° C) with strong, gusty winds. The temperature warmed up
to 50° F (10° C) by the early afternoon, but high winds continued to hinder play. Another photo
from Alyssa's matches in the invitational is below. Additional college tennis images are in my Sports gallery.
