San Antonio - Trinity's Liza Southwick and Marie Lutz captured the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Southwest Region Doubles Championship on Sunday, while Southwick also finished as the runner-up in the singles competition.

Southwick and Lutz were seeded second in the tournament, and outfought top seeds Amy Friesenhahn and Tori Musngi of the University of Texas-Tyler 6-4, 7-6 (4) in the “A” final at the Butch Newman Tennis Center. The Trinity tandem earned a trip to the USTA/ITA National Small College Championships, held October 9-12 at Sumter, South Carolina. Southwick and Lutz became the first Trinity team to win the Regional doubles crown since 2012, when Mackenzie Knoop and Thavindra Ekanayake achieved that feat.

In the singles final, played earlier in the day, Sofia Vega of Texas Lutheran University won the “A” Singles title for the second straight year, beating a scrappy Southwick 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. Southwick was down 0-3 in the second set, when she won five straight games to take a 4-3 lead. Vega evened the score at 4-all, but Southwick took the next two games to send the 2-hour, 45-minute battle into a third set. It marked the fourth consecutive year Trinity was represented in the singles championship match.

Vega beat the fifth-seeded Lutz 6-4, 6-3 in Sunday morning's semifinals, while Southwick defeated 12th-seed junior teammate Gabby Roe 6-1, 6-0.
