  • Ella Provost claimed victory at fourth singles (6-4, 6-1).
  • From head coach Curt Speerschneider: "Very close one with a very solid D1 team. This was a great way to start off the spring to see where we're at against tough competition. Every match was a back-and-forth battle and went to whoever was willing to take the momentum the furthest. Unfortunately, they were just a bit more comfortable in some key situations. We worked extremely hard and really saw what we're capable of this year though. We'll continue to work hard and keep putting it out there."
  • NEXT UP: Skidmore will open Liberty League play Sunday at 2 p.m. on the road against St. Lawrence.
