Freshman Carly Lodise pulled out a thrilling third-set win at No. 4 singles to give the Muhlenberg women's tennis team a point in an 8-1 home loss to Ursinus.

It was the first career singles win for Lodise (pictured above), who had come close on several occasions. She lost a third set three times previously this spring, including a 12-10 setback against Bryn Mawr.

This time, Lodise dropped the first set, 6-3, and came back to win the second, 6-4. She jumped out to a 9-4 lead in the supertiebreaker, but her Ursinus opponent scored the next five points. It was tied 10-10 before Lodise scored the next two points to finish off the win.
