• In sixth singles, freshman Juliette Ceas battled back from a 1-6 first set defeat against RPI's Sarabosing to win the last two sets by a commanding 6-1, 6-4 margin.

GAME TWO – SKIDMORE 7, BARD 0

• The Thoroughbreds won the program's 14th straight against Bard since the Raptors entered the conference in 2011.
• Skidmore didn't drop a single game as the doubles duos of Provost/Sarzynska, Geiss/Coco Prokop, and Ceas/Maggie English all won in 6-0 fashion.
• In singles, the Thoroughbreds rolled out a largely underclassmen lineup alongside senior Konika Dhull and Geiss, with English making an appearance in sixth singles to join Sarzynska, Ceas and Prokop. All singles matches concluded in a pristine 6-0, 6-0 straight sets fashion.
