HIGHLIGHTS

• TCNJ finished 9-2 in singles and 7-2 in doubles against Ithaca
• Eight of the singles victories came in straight sets, with the lone exception a 6-3, 4-6, 10-4 triumph by Harrison Maitland-Carter over Ean Lantzy
• The Lions came back on Saturday with a strong effort in doubles, with only a pair of 8-7 tiebreakers separating them from sweeping all nine matches
