Gettysburg (3-1) only suffered one loss in singles action against Mount Union (3-1) as senior Kelly Eurich (Elizabethtown, Pa./Elizabethtown) was upended in three sets by Kacey Huff 6-3, 4-6, 10-6. The Bullets swept the remaining solo competitions with junior Katie Taylor (Ocean City, Md./Worcester Prep) dropping only one game at No. 2 (6-1, 6-0) and sophomore Kylle O'Sullivan (Worcester, Mass./Worcester Academy) and freshman Lydia MacKenzie (Bedford, N.H./Derry School) each winning 6-1, 6-1 at third and sixth singles, respectively.

Closing out Gettysburg's singles wins over the Purple Raiders was a pair of freshmen. Laura Habecker (Lancaster, Pa./Lancaster Country Day School) defeated Courtney Adamsky 6-4, 6-1 at No. 4 and Kelsey Boyce (Arrowsic, Maine/Morse) won 6-2, 6-2 at No. 5.

In doubles action, Boyce and MacKenzie easily won at the third spot 8-1 and O'Sullivan teamed with first-year Meghan Fornshell (Westport, Conn./Academy of Our Lady Mercy) for an 8-4 win at No. 2.

With senior Meghan Kelly (Easton, Conn./Kent School) joining the team on Monday, the lineup changed slightly with even better results as the Bullets swept Ohio Wesleyan.
