COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland defeated the Princeton women's tennis team 5-2 Saturday afternoon in another battle of ranked teams.
The Terrapins are the seventh ITA-ranked team the Tigers have faced this season in their 12 matches. No. 56 Princeton now stands at 6-6 on the season, while the 43rd-ranked Terps improved to 8-2.
Monica Chow and Katherine Flanigan accounted for Princeton's points as the pair combined to win at second doubles as well as individual victories at fourth and fifth singles, respectively.
