The Bearcats returned home and defeated ETSU in thrilling fashion.
It was a tough go for the Bearcats in doubles as ETSU jumped out to take the point following victories on courts #2 and #3. Amanda Huser made her dual match debut for the Bearcats playing alongside Alexia Coutino on the #3 court. Ioana Guna and Anna Philp were up 5-4 on court #1 when ETSU took the point, leaving their match unfinished.
Bramato/Coutino remain at a 7-2 record in doubles.
Guna/Philp remain at a 6-3 record.
The Bearcats hold a 17-10 record in doubles play during dual matches.
ETSU continued their momentum as they took court #4 from the Bearcats, but the team bounced right back behind a 6-4, 6-2 victory from Ioana Guna on court #1. ETSU improved their lead to 3-1 after taking court #3, but it would prove to be their last point of the night. Caroline Morton took court #2, 7-6 (7), 3-6, 7-5, in the first of a trio of three set matches that would lead the Bearcats to victory. Following closely behind was Anna Philp, playing in just her second singles match this dual season, with a 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (5) victory on court #6. Both teams lined the sidelines of court #5 as Emma Miceli looked to finish it off and clinch the victory for the Bearcats. After dropping the first set 6-4, Miceli rallied to take the match with a 6-3, 7-5 showing in the second and third sets.
Santilli moves to 8-1.
Miceli now holds a 7-1 record.
Morton jumps up to a 7-3 record.
The team stands at 35-21 in singles play during dual matches.

// SCOUTING THE RAIDERS
The Raiders season thus far could be summed up as streaky. After opening the season 3-2, including wins over Chicago State, West Virginia State and Saint Francis, the Raiders dropped their next five matches. During their five-match losing streak, they battled the Spartans of Michigan State, fought the Irish of Notre Dame, attempted to tame the Broncos of Western Michigan, tried to clip the wings of the Falcons of Bowling Green and Xavier. Following that skid, they've since bounced back and are currently on a four-match win streak that included a 5-2 victory over St. Louis.
After scouring recaps and deciphering results, it appears the Raiders are led by Madison Riley and Haily Morgan in doubles. The duo has combined for a 9-4 record thus far and carries a three-match win streak. Andreea Craciun and Jillian Milano hold an 8-4 record in doubles and are on a four-match win streak. Rounding out the Raiders doubles duos is Luisa Pelayo and Grace Whitney who are 6-3 with a three-match win streak.
On the singles side, Madison Riley and Jillian Milano both hold 9-5 records in action thus far. Riley is currently on a five-match win streak while Milano holds a four-match win streak. Other top performers include Haily Morgan who is currently 6-8 for the season, but has been on a hot streak as of late with a four-match win streak of her own. Rounding out the singles action is Luisa Pelayo who is 6-7 with a current three-match win streak.
