The #1 doubles duo of Carolina Sanchez-Hervas and Alex Phipps were recognized as the only seniors of a young Lynx tennis team.

The match started off with tough doubles play. BSC was on top of the net and put a lot of pressure on the Rhodes returns of serves. They were able to pull out a doubles point and kept Rhodes in a close match. As the singles got going, things were looking good for the women until #1 Sophomore Maggie Donoghue sprained her ankle and was forced to retire from the match.

Rhodes was able to get a singles point from Krystal Skrmetta 6-2, 6-1 before the match was decided. Rhodes was up at #4 and #6 but the matches were pulled after decision was made.
