Sweet Briar, VA - The Hollins tennis team took a two match win streak on the road when they traveled to face Sweet Briar in a crucial Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) match. The Vixens took a 2-1 lead after doubles play and made Hollins play from behind for the remainder of the afternoon.

At the #2 spot, Amelia Verkerk won the second set 7-5 before her comeback was derailed, 2-6, in the third. Valerie Sargeant was locked in the closest match of the day at #6 singles. Sargeant fell, 6-2, before turning the tables for a, 6-3, second set victory. Trailing 4-5 in the finale, Sargeant come up just short of the comeback and fell, 6-4. Johnson won the first set at #3 but couldn't close out the match and a third set comeback by her Vixen foe finished the afternoon of closely contested tennis.
