The loss drops the Ducks to 8-5 while Haverford moved to 3-1.

Stevens took the 2-1 lead after the doubles matches thanks to junior Jessica Bourque and senior Lisa Tessitore's win at No.1 over senior Alex Ferrara and junior Caitlin Gallagher. Freshman Alexis Connor and junior Danielle Stewart earned another point for the Ducks at No. 2 in an 8-5 win over sophomore Robyn Himelstein and senior Kate Donches.

After missing out on the sweep at No. 3, Haverford took control of the match winning five of the six singles matches including 6-0, 6-0 wins in the final three pairings. Bourque picked up the Ducks only point at No. 1 in a 6-4, 6-1 win over Gallagher.

Haverford used its experience with senior Kate Donches winning 6-0, 6-0 at No. 4 against sophomore Julia Guignard, and at No. 6 with junior Kristin Andersen's 6-0, 6-0 win over freshman Lily Bruenjes.

Despite the losses this week, team captain Bourque has maintained a positive attitude. "I would first like to thank Emily Beach and Tom Cuming for going above and beyond this week," Bourque said. "We definitely learned a lot from their perspectives, and I think we've all grown in our tennis game. I'm also very proud of how our team competed this week."

The Ducks will continue the spring portion of their schedule on March 26 when they host New York University at 3:30 p.m. Be sure to follow the team at stevensducks.com, or on twitter @stevensducks.
