The Forester women's tennis team prevailed 8-1 at Dominican University on Sunday. Lake Forest senior Melika Celebic was one of five Lake Forest players to win twice on the day and she took over sole possession of first place in program history with 97 career victories.

Fadden was the first to add a second victory in the match when she finished off a 6-2, 6-0 win at #3 singles. Shapiro was next, prevailing 6-3, 6-4 at #4. Celebic and Valicenti did not surrender a game in their 6-0, 6-0 triumphs at #1 and #2, respecitvely, and, after the Stars earned a point at #5, Martin closed out the match with a 6-2, 6-1 victory at #6.
