In a tightly contested doubles competition, the duo of Tyffaine Pais and Ana Hollweg secured a victory at court three, while the un-ranked pair of Maissane Aik and Maria Fiacan pulled off an upset against the No. 29-ranked Tiffin pair. The Hounds carried their momentum into singles play, with Pais and Fiacan both notching straight-set wins.
The defining moment of the match came from Benedetta Sensi, who staged a comeback victory at court three to secure the win for the Hounds. With Valentin Colin also holding control in her match at No. 6, the Hounds sealed the victory.
Looking ahead, the Hounds will celebrate senior day in their final regular-season home match against the McKendree Bearcats.
