The Crimson finished the spring at 12-6 and 14-7 overall. The Ivy Champion netwomen were undefeated in the Ivy League.
At first singles Shaun Stafford defeated Kathy Vigna, 6-3, 6-3. At number two, senior Robin Boss fell 6-1, 6-1, to Jill Hetherington.
Seminole Tammy Whittington beat Kristin Bland in third singles 6-0, 6-3.
The Crimson's Cindy Austrian pushed Denise Dayan at number four, but she fell, 6-3, 7-6. Dragomirescu won at five, and in the closest match of the afternoon, Florida's Cathy Goodrich topped Kathy Mulvehal, 7-6, 1-6, 6-4.

At Second doubles, it was Stafford and Polasek over Vigna and Austrian, 6-3, 7-6 and in the final match of the day Wittington and Siobhan Nicholson topped Dragomirescu and Mulvehal.
