Against the Hawks, Nichols was able to take the top two doubles matchups by duplicate 8-1 scores as sophomore Rachel McDonald (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) and senior Tiffany Romano (South Windsor, Conn.) defeated senior Jacqueline Andrade (Somerset, Mass.) and freshman Victoria Puczydlowski (Dudley, Mass.) at No. 1 doubles, while freshman Amanda Costa (Palmer, Mass.) and junior Kristina Domantas (Holden, Mass.) beat senior Dana Mahan (Manville, R.I.) and sophomore Fiona Gilley (Worcester, Mass.) at No. 2 doubles. Sophomore Emily Houchin (Durham, Conn.) and sophomore Emily Sprague (Charlton, Mass.) added an 8-0 sweep of freshman Shannon Hazelton (Rockland, Mass.) and freshman Jessica Mossop (Wellington, Fla.) at No. 3 doubles.
 
In singles play, Houchin handed Mossop a 6-0, 6-0 setback at No. 6 singles, with Emily Sprague adding a 6-1, 6-1 win over Hazelton at No. 5 singles. Amanda Costa defeated Gilley, 6-1, 6-0 at No. 4 singles, and Domantas beat Puczydlowski, 6-1, 6-2 at No. 2 singles. McDonald and Romano added matching 8-0 wins at No. 1 and No. 3 singles over Andrade and Mahan.
 
Against the Bantams, the Bison were able to take 2-of-3 doubles matches to grab an early 2-1 lead. Senior Ashley Dallaire (East Bridgewater, Mass.) and sophomore Megan Nathanson (Scarborough, Maine) defeated senior Ania Aliev (Needham, Mass.) and sophomore Jillian Winer (Bolton, Mass.) at No. 2 doubles by a score of 8-5, while sophomore Lindsey Kaplan (Boca Raton, Fla.) and senior Alanna Judd (Westborough, Mass.) beat freshman Morgan Wilkins (Halesite, N.Y.) and freshman Lily Everett (Atlanta, Ga.) at No. 3 doubles, 8-4.
