Principia 1-1 in conference championship play

Saint Louis, MO—
 
Principia wins their quarter-final match against Fontbonne in the morning match at Dwight Davis tennis center.  Gracie Buchanan and Dani Lomascolo came from behind to earn an important win at #2 doubles. They trailed 5-7 love -40,  down three match points, at that moment  the team played scrappy steady tennis to pull out the game.  Principia finally took the set in a tie–breaker 7-3. Principia earned their first match win from  Sarah Switzer and Amber Heady, #3 doubles . They made strong volleys and took control of the net.  Hallie Jones and Olivia Kasprzyk competed well and were tied at 4-4 but Fontbonne picked up their game and played aggressive tennis. 
 
Leading 2-1, at the start of singles play the team needed three matches to complete the win.  Principia earned those wins from steady play by Sarah Switzer, #4 singles, Dani Lomascolo, #5 singles, and Amber Heady #6 singles.   Complete match scores are below. 
 
In the afternoon, Principia faced #1 seed Webster in the semi-finals.  Webster undefeated in conference play and coming off a 9-0 win over Principia the week before was eager to repeat their performance.  Webster swept all three doubles matches but Principia earned a few more games in each match and played better tennis.  Principia was down 0-3 moving into the singles matches.  Olivia Kasprzyk, Principia's #3 singles, was ahead in her match 5-4 when the match was decided by Webster.  The complete scores for the Webster match are below.
