WELLESLEY, Mass. -- Wellesley College tennis junior Justine Huang (Coto de Caza, Calif.), sophomore Selina Peng (Taichung, Taiwan), and first year Lily Chu (Princeton, N.J.) have each been named to the 2018 New England Women's & Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Women's Tennis All-Conference second team.

The NEWMAC Women's Tennis All-Conference Team includes nine first team and second team selections which are voted on by the nine women's tennis coaches.

The duo was 7-3 together over their final 10 matches during the spring of 2018. Chu finished the year 9-5 overall and 5-1 in conference matches, going a combined 8-3 in matches at No. 6 singles. She finished the season on a four-match win streak that included a 7-5, 6-2 victory in the Blue's NEWMAC semifinal match at Babson.
