Brilhante gave CMU a 2-0 lead with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over

Ally Lowe started it by rallying to defeat Valentina Gonzalez, 6-7(7), 6-0, 1-0(10) at the No. 2 position, then just minutes later, Young finished a 5-7, 6-4, 1-0(11) decision over Rodriguez to even the match at 2-2.
Avery Hickman posted a 6-1, 6-1 win over Catalina Ballon at No. 5, but
Lindsay Popeo dropped a 2-6, 6-2, 1-0(7) decision to Jane Steur at No. 6, meaning the match would come down to the No. 4 spot between CC's
Lucia Moravek and CMU's Delia Maier.
Maier won the first set, 6-2, but Moravek battled back to win the second, 7-5, then survived the 10-point tiebreak, 11-9, to seal the team match for the Tigers.
In the evening match, the Tigers lost just one game in sweeping the three doubles matches against Hendrix.
Colorado College then won all six singles matches in straight sets to improve to 13-3 overall and remain a perfect 6-0 in the SCAC.
