The Wolves took all three doubles points, highlighted by the play of juniors Sophie Charbonneau and Diana Rebelo (Naugatuck, Conn.) who fought off two match points to force a tiebreaker at 7-7 and closed out the victory with a 7-5 win in the breaker.  Fellow juniors Melanie Grasso (New Fairfield, Conn.) and Bodhi Kitt (Norwalk, Conn.) continued their unbeaten streak at the top of the doubles ladder for the Wolves with an 8-1 triumph.

In singles, Kitt and Charbonneau clinched the overall match victory with convincing victories at the No. 1 and No. 5 position, respectively.
