Playing outdoors for the first time this season, Lehigh lost a critical point at second doubles, where Andrea Madrigal and Nicole David bested the sophomore tandem of Julie Arthofer and Stacey Reich. The Panthers picked up an additional point with an 8-2 win at first doubles, while senior Alexis Jacobi and junior Ariela Cohen salvaged a doubles point for the visitors with an 8-1 win at No. 3 doubles.
