First-year student Val Quan, sophomore Brigitte Tousignant, juniors Brittany Coxe and Carolyn Fisher, and senior Corey McHugh were each double-winners on the day.

McHugh topped Justine Shank 3-1 at six after falling in the first set (7-11, 11-4, 12-10, 12-10), and Fisher swept Molly Doran at seven to bring the score to 5-4.

In the evening match against Rochester, St. Lawrence did not drop a single set. Tousignant, senior Frances Robinson and Quan were at the top of the lineup, while first-year student Sarah Neilson, Coxe and McHugh posted wins in the middle of the lineup.
