Winners for Cedarville were #4 Courtney Heydt (6-4, 6-0), #5 Maryssa Herbert (6-0, 7-5), and #6 Paul (7-6, 6-2).

If there is such a thing as a 'good loss,' I would have to classify today as having been one,” stated Head Coach Dr. Dee Morris. “Their top three singles players are very good - probably among the best we will encounter this season.

"Our players did not play poorly, just were bested by stronger tennis players. Overall, I thought it was a good start for this portion of our season.”

The Lady Jackets drop to 7-3 overall.
