Kinane and Peters Advance to Open Doubles Final at USHA National Collegiate Championships

2/24/2024 4:15:00 PM

Lake Forest College freshman Emma Kinane had one winning streak end and another continue at the United States Handball Association National Collegiate Championships on Saturday.

Kinane had reached the Women's Open Singles semifinals by winning her first three matches at the event. She was denied a spot in the final, however, falling 21-4, 21-13 to the top seed in the tournament.

Sophomore Audrey Peters and Kinane are the Foresters' top women's doubles tandem and they came from behind to prevail 4-21, 21-7, 11-4 in the Open semifinals on Saturday to earn Handball All-America status. They are the program's first women's doubles team to accomplish the feat in a decade and Kinane is the first Lake Forest woman to be named All-America in both singles and doubles in the same season since 2012.

Two Forester men also competed in Saturday's semifinal action. Junior Dylan Schmitt edged out his opponent 21-18, 21-16 to reach the final in the Men's Open 9-16 Singles bracket while freshman Ethan Trankolov was defeated 21-12, 21-16 in Men's C4 Singles.

Schmitt's final is slated for 9:00 Sunday morning and Kinane and Peters will play for the doubles title at 10:00 a.m.
