- Tresedder has now won both of her doubles matches against the Eagles over the last two years.
- Kelly and Macioch remain as the only Falcons to remain unbeaten in NACC singles play.
- With the win over the Eagles, the Falcons can claim a share of the NACC regular season title with two more wins to end their conference play.
