After taking the crucial doubles point, Longwood was unable to sustain the success in singles, as Seton Hall earned a 5-2 victory over the Lancers Friday evening at the U.S. Naval Academy.

"This was a strange match, indeed," said Longwood head coach Bruce Myers. "Seton Hall is a deep team and has eight talented players who are very well coached. We knew we were the underdogs today, which usually helps motivate us to play better."

Strike evened the team score at 1-1 with a 6-0, 6-4 victory over Pelak, while Isabell Klingert gave the Pirates their first lead of the match, 2-1, with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Parker at the sixth spot in the order.
