Over the three-match winning streak, Seton Hall had a 7-0 win over Fairfield, and 5-2 wins over NJIT and Binghamton. The Pirates opened up the spring with a 4-3 loss to the Army West Point Black Knights. Hannah Liljekvist has not lost in the spring season, the only Pirate to remain undefeated.

LAST WEEKEND RECAP
Quinnipiac came so close to upsetting the Binghamton Bearcats, falling 4-3 despite having a 3-2 lead with two matches to be played. After Sophia Dzulynsky and Sitilia Rencheli won a highly contested doubles match, each went on to win in singles along with Jennifer Lu. The Bobcats lost one doubles match in a tiebreaker set and played their best match of the spring.
