ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Fourth-year member of the Elmira College women's tennis, Cheyanne Holwell '19, landed a spot on the Empire 8 Conference Sportswoman of the Year Team, as announced by the league office this afternoon.
 
A native of Liberty, New York, Holwell played in all 12 matches for the Soaring Eagles during the fall portion of the 2018-19 season. Holwell collected three wins during her senior year, all of which were registered in doubles action, as she teamed up with Marta Kliszcz '20 for a pair of wins at the No. 3 spot and claimed another doubles victory with fellow senior, Sarah Hill '19, at the No. 2 position.
