Maria Ciccolini (Green, OH, Green High School) and Meredith Skaggs (Huron, OH, Huron) teamed for an 8-6 win at #1 doubles, while Amy Marchlen (Pittsburgh, PA, Mt. Lebanon) at #1, Ciccolini at #2 and Anna Navatsyk (Chardon, OH, Chardon) at #3 all won their singles matches convincingly.
The Blue Streaks finally met up witha Division III school in Susquehanna, and rolled to an 8-1 victory. JCU won the three doubles matches by a combined score of 24-6, and in its five singles match wins, won all in straight sets.
