Bowling Green State University junior Katie Grubb (Elkhart Memorial) has been named to the Mid-American Conference’s All-Tournament Team.

Grubb played a key role in the Falcons’ 4-0 win over Eastern Michigan in the quarterfinals. In No. 2 doubles play, she teamed with fellow junior Maddy Eccleston for an 8-4 win over Mariya Toncheva and Georgia de’Lisle-Tarr. That result came exactly one week after the Eccleston-Grubb had lost an 8-4 decision to those same opponents in the teams’ regular-season meeting.

At No. 5 singles, Grubb won a tiebreaker to capture a narrow first set against Toncheva, then rode that momentum to a 6-0 win in the second set. As was the case in doubles, Grubb’s decision marked a reversal from the previous Friday. Toncheva had captured a three-set match in the regular-season dual.

On Saturday, Grubb and Eccleston battled Miami’s Riekie Honiball and Nimisha Mohan to a 7-7 draw before the match was abandoned after the RedHawks won the other two doubles matches.

“This honor is well deserved,” BGSU head coach Penny Dean said on the school’s Web site. “Katie battled hard all weekend, especially against Eastern Michigan where she helped reverse last weekend’s results and help BG get the victory. She remains undefeated in MAC Tournament play.

“I am so happy for Katie, because she worked hard all year and was very coachable. I know this will give her momentum as she heads into a great senior year.”

This season, Grubb finished with an overall record of 34-23, including a 15-12 singles mark and a 19-11 doubles record. That doubles ledger included a 7-3 record when competing with Eccleston.

For her career, Grubb is now 85-61, and is only two wins away from moving into the top-30 on the BGSU career list. Grubb is now 38-29 in singles and 47-32 in doubles as a Falcon.
