Le moyne completed the sweep after senior Fiona Pepper and junior Isabella Barona defeated sophomore Carly Armitage (Rochester, N.Y.) and junior Emily Jablonski (Alden, N.Y.), 6-1.

Rubio and Scime both turned in solid efforts at No. 1 and No. 2 singles. Rubio dropped set one to Raiss, 6-1, but battled back in set two before falling 7-5. Scime posted a 6-3 win over Fernando in set one, but Fernando answered with a 6-2 win in set two and completed comeback with a 10-2 win in the tie-breaker. The loss snapped Scime's six-match winning streak. Le Moyne picked up straight-set wins in the remainder of the singles matches.
