Alyssa Brault (Rochester/Churchville-Chili) and freshmen
Julieta Eulau (Oceanside/Oceanside) were no match for their counterparts earning an 8-1 triumph. The second doubles tandem of senior
Samantha Felice (Seneca Falls/Mynderse Academy) and freshman
Mya Lipscomb (Peekskill/Walter Panas) lost the first game and then ran off eight of the last nine games triumphing 8-2. Junior
Michelle Halpern (Rye Brook/Blind Brook) making a rare start in the doubles lineup joined up with sophomore Danielle Swiercyzna at the third position and played very clean tennis earning an 8-1 win.
The 3-0 lead going into singles was way too much for Brockport to overcome. Lipscomb at number four singles and Felice at number five singles earned the clinching match victories as each were completely dominant in their wins.
