Platt carried her success into singles play as her victory earned the Bison their second point of the day.

She dominated her opponent 6-1, 7-6; she also earned her Patriot League Tennis Player of the Week honors, her second of the season. Despite Platt’s success, the team struggled in the remaining singles matches. Jennings fought hard in her match, but fell 3-6, 1-6.
