Senior Lindsay Kantor (Westhampton Beach, NY/Westhampton Beach) picked up her 103^rd and 104^th wins in her second-to-last match at Vassar College.

The Northeast Regionally-ranked #14 team of junior Samantha Schapiro (Milford, NJ/Rutgers Preparatory School) and freshman Shayna Becker (Murrieta, CA/University) cruised past Julia DeFabo and Nelle Plotkin 8-0.
