HOW IT HAPPENED
In doubles, despite a 6-2 win by Mariia Dolzhenko and Serafima Bobrovnikova (7-5) at the top flight, EKU also won a flight with a 6-2 score on court three.
However, Sofiia Paladi and Deborah Dominguez Collado (18-3), earned their ninth straight doubles win, and it came in a big way with a 6-4 dub on court two.
From there, the momentum stayed with the Bisons into singles, as they picked up the wins need to sweep the Colonels.

Sofiia Zhylchuk (15-6) followed on court six, defeating Anastas Cherniakova, 6-0, 6-2.
On Senior Day, Paladi (16-11) was the one to clinch the match for the Bisons. Earning her 85th singles win of her career on Friday, she defeated Sasha Parkhomenko 6-2, 6-1, to secure the match.
