Senior Megan Muth (Covington, LA) and freshman Lauren Cash (Allendale, NJ) completed the doubles play with an 8-6 win at No. 2 over Natalia Prinz and Colleen Speaker.

Zoricic, ranked 50th in the nation, quickly put the Tribe ahead 2-0 with a 6-0, 6-2 win at No. 3 singles over Prinz. Moulton-Levy, ranked 11th in the country, put the Green and Gold one point away from victory with a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 1 over Lyskawa, and Muth clinched the team’s win with a 6-1, 6-0 victory at No. 2 over Percival, the 100th singles victory of her college career.
