WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – The Dartmouth women's tennis team returned to the court on Saturday for the second day of the Tribe Invitational, wrapping things up with a record of 4-3.

“We played with great energy,” said head coach Bob Dallis. “Our doubles were greatly improved from yesterday.”

Sophomore Taylor Ng and freshman Kristina Mathis picked up Dartmouth's lone doubles' victory with an 8-5 win over the hosts. Mathis went 2-0 on the day, while senior Akiko Okuda remains undefeated in singles.
