Saint Francis earned the doubles point with a win at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles though it wasn't a clean sweep as Raul Rodriguez (Naples, Fla./Marco Island Academy) and Scott Redmond (Paget, Bermuda/Warwick Academy) won at No. 3 doubles, 7-5.

"We competed hard at every position," remarked head coach Rebecca Helt. "We played well against a solid team and I think this level of competition allows us to really identify the areas of our game where we need to focus the most."
 
The Huskies return to action on October 23 when they take on Mount St. Mary's.
