At No.1 doubles, senior Zara Jakubas (Califon, NJ) and freshman Irene Ireme (Concord, NH) came back after trailing 0-5 to win 8-6. Freshman Kelly Corson (Exeter, NH) and senior Peyton Smith (Stuttgart, Germany) won out the tiebreaker, giving UMass Dartmouth their first loss at No.3 doubles this year and giving Plymouth the big LEC victory.
