Earlier in the day, Bondi defeated eighth-seeded Ashley Kriwinsky of Kenyon by a 6-2, 6-2 score in the quarterfinals.

Bondi, the 2005 Division III singles runner-up, finished the season with a 22-1 singles record and heads into the 2006-07 season with a 93-8 career mark. She earned all-America honors for the third time in as many tries and was also an honorable mention all-America selection in basketball.
