Goldey-Beacom put up a fight against Concordia (NY) in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference semifinals, but succumbed to a 5-0 loss in Philadelphia, PA.

The tie's most intriguing match took place at second doubles as Amina Mrad (Berlin, Germany) and fellow junior Pauline Rozet (Malakoff, France) were in a battle with the Clippers' Stefanie Canals-Baker and Linda Eliasson. The back-and-forth encounter saw Concordia (9-0) break serve late for an 8-6 triumph.

Antonia Conze and Kaja Tegtmeier won at third doubles, 8-1, over junior Francesca Beg (Westbury, England) and freshman Manuela Cornejo (Waldbronn, Germany) with Constanza Mecchi and Demi Huang getting an 8-1 triumph at No. 1 doubles over junior Nina Sengl (Puchheim, Germany) and CACC Rookie of the Year Merel Ann van Zanten (Velserbroek, Netherlands).

Mecchi at first singles and Tegtmeier at No. 6 each got 6-2, 6-0 wins to conclude the tie. Rozet held a 6-3, 2-3 lead at fourth singles, but her match was halted once the fifth and winning point was attained.

The Lightning (5-4) were appearing in the CACC Tournament an eighth straight time, all with trips to at least the semifinals, and temporarily were denied the program's 100th victory.
