Two Tiebreakers Lead Mustangs to Victory Over Eastern 6-3

STEVENSON, Md. – The Mustangs were able to defeat Eastern this afternoon by edging their opponents in two tiebreakers at both the No. 3 and No. 4 singles matchups.

At No. 4 singles, sophomore, Svetlana Widell (St. Michael's, Md./St. Michael's) rallied back after splitting sets 4-6, 7-5. Widell edged her opponent in the third set tiebreaker 10-6.
