In an exciting third game, momentum swung back to OLS, which won 15-5. Emily Pennachio held the serve for eight straight points, Diana Lutzak chipped in three more points and Ashley Frangella added another two points. Lyana Labrada and Rebecca Spitz tallied one point each.

Back home on Sunday, OLS won all three games against St. Joe’s by scores of 15-6, 15-1 and 15-2.
