In singles’ play, the Lancers won all five of their matches in straight sets, seven of those sets being won by 6-1 or 6-0. The Coyotes picked up their lone point of the match at No. 6 when Jenkins defeated Oliveira, 6-4, 6-4. Hascoet provided the clinching point with a 6-4, 6-0 win over Palicte at No. 4.

“The girls did a great job today in coming out with some good intensity in doubles, and I was pleased to see the hard work carry over into singles,” said CBU Head Coach Chris Taylor. “We need to bring that same effort and intensity  day and in day out if we are to continue the success we've had this year."
