The Catamounts opened the morning of play sweeping the singles matches against Presbyterian. WCU avenged their doubles match-up Saturday as the Blue Hose took two of three. It was a hotly contested set of singles contests with four of the matches match’s going to a tie breaker. Jacy Smith (6-3, 1-6, 10-5), Kata Foldeak (2-6, 6-4, 10-7), Anna Uljanov (6-2, 6-4), Miray Konar (6-2, 6-4) and Antonella Benavices (4-6, 6-0, 10-3) combined for the victories for the Catamounts.
