Labarthe ran her season-opening win streak to seven matches before falling in the final round of her bracket. She advanced to the C Flight title tilt by posting three consecutive wins, all in straight sets. First, she knocked off Kate Donnelly of NEC rival Sacred Heart, 6-2, 6-3. In the quarterfinal round, Labarthe made quick work of Marist's Maria Eduarda Yurgel, 6-2, 6-1. The first-year Bobcat then earned a ticket to the final by picking up another 6-2, 6-1 win over Pittsburgh's Jocelyn Lu.
With the 3-1 weekend, Labarthe has now won 13 of the first 15 matches in her collegiate career.
Following a 24-day hiatus, the Bobcats return to action Oct. 20, when they travel to intrastate rival UConn. Matches are set to begin at 2 p.m. in Storrs, Conn.
