CSI played with a heavy hand in this match, winning two of the three doubles sets by identical, 8-0, scores. Sabrina Bragerton-Nasert and Madiha Mulla did the honors in the top-spot, while Nozima Toshpulatova and Michelle Kushnir did likewise in the second flight. In the third position, CSI’s team of Hannah Ramirez and Guetanie Romain defeated RU-Newark’s Nicole Murray and Kesha Patel, by an 8-5 count.
Bragerton-Nasert (No. 1) and Mulla (No. 2) both posted 6-0, 6-0, wins when it came to Singles play, and CSI was on cruise control the rest of the way. Toshpulatova, Kushnir, and Ramirez all took wins, while Samantha Mazier entered at No. 5 singles and defeated Julibeth Hernandez, 6-2, 6-0.
