The #1 Doubles team of Lydia Topliff and Alaina Dague are working hard together and are gaining an understanding of the others’ play. Both girls served well and had some excellent volleys. Makyla Myers and Sarah Grace filled in for the #2 Doubles team and are doing well. Both girls work well together and pushed Rochester to deuce multiple times in multiple games.
