Kalyna McIntosh (St. Anns, ON) came back from 3-0 to take the win 8-4. Brock's second and third doubles pairs walked away with default wins, giving the Badgers the doubles point.
The Badgers women's team was just as impressive in singles play, taking all six matches to secure a 7-0 win. The top three seeds of Liana Biktimirova,
Nicole Jordan (London, ON) and
