"We started with singles today due to a court situation, and it was very close. Caroline and Isabel set the tone with quick, straight set victories to get us off to a nice start. Aleksandra and Denise played well but came up a little short in two close sets each. Julieanne had a nice consistent win at number 1, and Leonie had a come from behind three set victory."

"Leading 4-2 after singles, we played the doubles winning at number 1 and 2 in close sets," said Marshall.
Petri-Bere and Aleksandra Karamyshev (Ashton, Md.) won their No. 2 doubles match 6-4 over Nella and Vasile, improving to 14-7 this season.
"I was very pleased with the effort and fight today, as this was a match that needed focus and attention to detail for a win. The team feels confident with three-straight victories heading into our spring matches in Florida next week."
