We won a hard-fought dubs point and then took points at 3, 4 and 5 singles. Senior Pavi Francis closed it out with a second-set tie-breaking win at No. 3. Freshman Shahazoda Hatamova also won her second set in a tie-breaker at No. 4. Newcomer Edyta Cieplucha won easily in her first singles action of the spring since become eligible, 6-2, 6-1.
The ladies at the top of the line up had both dropped their first sets, won their second and were leading early in their respective third sets.
