Moving on to singles, Beisenova finished with the first win at No. 3, after Aggies’ Kenya Colbert was forced to retire, followed by her teammates who all won in straight sets.
Continuing the day, the Phoenix went in strong to face Washington & Lee, this was the first time that the two teams have gone head to head. Elon won two of three doubles to lead the afternoon 1-0 going into singles. Again, Elon did not drop a set, and went on to finish the day with a 7-0 win against the Generals.
