"We battled for every point today. The first and second doubles teams were in a position to win their matches against some very talented RPI players," Plattsburgh head coach Mark Stata said.
"In singles we also had two strong matches from Valerie and Kristen. Valerie did a good job coming back after getting shut out in the first set. If the match had been a full third set, I think it could have been a different story (for her). Kristin worked hard for every point and had a solid win at No. 6 singles."
