For the women, Catawba got off to a 2-1 lead after doubles. Sophie Hirsch and Isabel Benoit picked up an 8-6 win at #2 doubles to provide the lead entering singles. Mount Olive avoided the doubles sweep with a tiebreaker win at #1.
Catawba rolled to five singles win, highlighted by Erisa Onchi’s rally from a set down to win in three sets.
