At number one singles, senior Caitlyn Pecinovsky (Whitehall/ Columbus Bishop Hartley) won her match by scores of 6-1 and 7-5 to improve to 15-8 overall.  Junior Safaa Hajji (Rabat, MOROCCO/Ryad Al Maarifa) won at No. 2 by scores of 6-1 and 6-2 and improved to 9-2 overall.   BW would claim its third and final point when senior No.5 player Katy Marshall (Medina/ Senior) won in a third-set super tie-breaker by scores of 7-5, 6-7 (7-9) and 1-0 (10-8) at fifth singles and improved to 13-9 overall.
