LEXINGTON, Va. --- The 22nd-ranked Washington and Lee women's tennis team defeated Sweet Briar, 5-0, on Sunday to capture it's 20th consecutive ODAC title.
 
W&L (18-6) first-year Lauren Long (Carmel, Ind. / Park Tudor) and junior Gabi Moss (Scottsdale, Ariz. / Chaparral) claimed the first team point with a strong 8-1 win at the top position, before juniors Margaret Carlton (Matthews, N.C. / Charlotte Christian) and Izzy Koziol (Wilton, Conn. / Wilton) finished shortly after at No. 2 with an 8-2 decision.
 
At No. 3, Sweet Briar's (18-8) duo of Maria Caro and Nikita Simhambhatla found themselves down to first-years Riho Iijima (Portland, Ore. / Westview) and Grace Lorenz (Oklahoma City, Okla. / Epic Charter Schools), 5-1, but they battled back to trail by a 7-6 score. Iijima and Lorenz then locked down W&L's 3-0 lead through doubles play with a win in the following game.
