After winning two of three doubles contests for the first point, the Bears claimed three singles points to improve to 7-4 with the Terriers falling to 7-5.

Reigning Patriot League Player of the Week and freshman Iryna Kostirko held off a late charge by 2014 All-Ivy League honoree Hannah Camhi for a 7-5, 5-7, 7-5 singles victory in the No. 3 slot.

Sophomore Barbara Rodriguez also had an impressive win at No. 4, beating Ammu Mandalap, 6-3, 7-6(7).
