Junior Kristen Dodge (Barrington, Ill./Barrington) hung on for a 6-3, 0-6, 1-0 (10-8) victory at No. 6, before senior Brooke Bolender (Delray Beach, Fla./Kaplan) rallied for a 0-6, 7-5, 1-0 (10-5) win over No. 67 Mai El Kamash.

N O T E S
• Scoring in doubles today was a regular set to six, not an eight-game pro set like in previous years. This method will be used through the ITA Indoor Championships.
• A 10-point super tiebreaker was used instead of a full third set in singles. This scoring method will also be used through the ITA Indoor Championships.
• This was Michigan's final tournament action before beginning dual-match play next weekend.
• Michigan went 8-3 in doubles action this weekend.
• The Wolverines went 17-4 in singles play this weekend.
