Junior Madigan Murphy (York, Maine) and senior Sadie Rieg (Carlisle, Pa.) were able to score four points, but the Wheaton pair won the match 6-4 to clinch the doubles point.

The third doubles pair of first year Amelie Robinson (Minneapolis, Minn.) and junior Taylor Wilson (Derry, N.H.) waltzed their way to a 6-0 win over junior Stephanie Davis (Kinnelon, N.J.) and senior Cayla Dolan (Cheshire, Conn.) to end the doubles with a Wheaton sweep.

Ortiz was first to finish her singles match, taking down Hjerpe in straight-sets from the number three position. Ortiz started off strong with a 6-1 win in the first set, and improved further in the second as she won 6-0.

Hollis repeated the straight-set victory with a win in the number four singles match. Murphy was held scoreless in the first set as Hollis cruised to a 6-0 victory, but managed to scrounge together two points in the second set as Hollis won again 6-2. 

The number six singles match featuring Robinson and Rieg was next to finish. Robinson made it another straight-set win for Wheaton as she dismantled Rieg 6-3, 6-2 to secure the win for Wheaton. Haraj-Sai also won her match in the number two position in straight-sets. Davis was able to make it 6-2 in the first set, but Haraj-Sai made quick work of her in the second set as the Wheaton Lyon won 6-1. 

Greenlee and Pinto squared off in the number one singles match, and Pinto won the first set 6-4 to give Salve Regina their only set victory of the contest. Greenlee came roaring back to life in the second set as she took down Pinto with a 6-2 win to force a tiebreaker. Greenlee pulled away late after exchanging points with Pinto to win the extra frame 10-8. Wheaton swept Salve Regina in Newport for a 7-0 conference victory.
