At No.1 singles, Lindy First was swept 6-0, 6-0 by Delila Causevic. Natasha Bode was defeated 6-1, 6-1 at No. 4 singles. Junior Samantha Fisher, making a comeback from an elbow injury, was defeated at No. 6 singles 6-2, 6-1.

The Colonials travel to Oxford Athletic Club in Pittsburgh Saturday morning for a match against West Virginia.
