Seniors Lee Barnard and Lidia Burrows closed out doubles play with a tight 7-6 (9-7) win over Adela Wasserbauerova and Jana Hecking.

QUOTE:
"To start I would like to say that, myself and the team are very grateful to have the opportunity to compete this fall, as so many teams did not compete while the country navigates COVID-19," said head coach Tayo Bailey-Duvall. "Thank you to Chris Massaro and President Sidney McPhee for allowing us this season of competition. After completing our 3rd event of this semester, we showed great mental improvement compared to our first event. We are very talented physically and took this semester to improve mentally as we prepare for an exciting spring semester. Every match we played this weekend was very competitive and our girls fought hard, showing growth and grit. We are looking forward to the spring semester."
