Alyssa Carlson, a sophomore from Rockford, Ill., who plays on the University of Akron tennis team,
swings at a backhand during a match at the Mastodon Invitational, a six-team college invitational
hosted by Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne in Fort Wayne, Ind. Early matches were
played in temperatures below 40° F (about 4° C) with strong, gusty winds. The temperature warmed
up to 50° F (10° C) by the early afternoon, but high winds continued to hinder play.
