During singles play, freshman Regina Pitts (Los Angeles, Calif.) set the tone with an impressive 6-3, 4-2 win at the No. 2 position. Taal, Matson and Gligic all took care of their singles assignments to secure the win.
On Sunday night, Seton Hall dominated doubles play to take the 1-0 lead heading into singles competition.
At the top singles flight, senior Anicka Fajnorova (Bratislava, Slovakia) registered a 6-1, 6-2 victory over LIU Brooklyn's Anna Grigoryan. From there, the Pirates continued to grind out wins at all remaining five singles matchups to finalize the 7-0 sweep.
