Senior Lok Sze Leung and freshman Erin Larner won both of their matches Saturday. In the morning session, Leung beat Yale's Sherry Li 12-9 before taking down Blair Martin of Furman, 6-3, 6-1 later in the day. Larner was a 12-3 winner over Carol Finke of Yale and shut out Furman's Joan van Lochem, 6-0, 6-0.
In the lone battle of ranked foes, No. 123 Alicia Barnett was upended by the nation's 103rd-ranked player in Yale's Hanna Yu, 12-8.
