On Saturday the Scots completed a clean 7-0 sweep over Salem at home. In singles Edinboro finished with six straight wins. Bruno Sabio and Manav Sreekumar were able to hang on for Edinboro in close matches that went into extra sets.
On Sunday Edinboro was back at home when they hosted division III nationally ranked Carnegie Mellon University. Ultimately, the Scots would prevail with a strong 5-2 victory.

LeMoyne
