Delaware's Sari Shuster posted a 6-2, 6-4 win over Loyola's Carolyn Pilkington at the No. 1 singles spot and the Hens' No. 2 player Liz Perlow was a 6-2, 6-3 winner over Kaitlin Russo to highlight the day for the Hens, who lost their third straight match to fall to 3-5 on the season. Shuster won her third straight match to improve to 8-5 on the season while Perlow upped her singles record to 4-7.
