Oosterhout fittingly pulled out a dramatic 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (8) win over Panthers junior Lolade Ogungbesan. For a while, it seemed as if the match would never end.
The close win capped a career day for Oosterhout, who recorded wins in both singles and doubles. Earlier in the day, the freshman and her junior partner June Lee triumphed over their opponents from Pitt, Ogungbesan and junior Amber Washington, 8-2.
While the Harvard duo of Mirda and Jasper were defeated, 8-3, the team was still able to come away with the doubles point when He, playing with Xiong, overcame Panthers freshmen Natsumi Okamoto and Carina Ma, 8-3.
“We saw a big improvement in doubles,” Lee said. “We’ve been working a lot on it and we were able to come away with the doubles point two of the three days here.”
