Trailing 3-0 on the road, the George Washington tennis team used late singles wins by Alexandra Lindqvist, Karen Verduzco, Madison Lee and Devika Manu to secure a clutch 4-3 win in the team's penultimate match of the regular season.

Rhody jumped ahead early, taking two of the three doubles matches for a 1-0 advantage. Solange Skeene and Victoria Sasinnka teamed up for GW's lone win, a 6-4 victory in the second flight. The duo now holds an 8-8 record on the year.

Karen Verduzco was second in line with a 3-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-0 dub in No. 5 singles, while Lee pulled the match even with a 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 win in the third flight. With the match in the balance, Devika Manu's 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) win delivered GW the victory.
