Of the three Panthers playing for overall tournament titles Saturday, freshman Kristin Kurer came closest to walking away with a trophy. She won the first set from Yoba Kobayashi of IPFW, 6-4, before dropping the next two, 6-3 and 10-4. In the top singles flight, Maddy Soule fell to Kate Chybowski of Evansville, 6-2, 7-5.
