On Friday the girls travelled to North Quincy and suffered their second defeat of the season at the hands of the Red Raiders and the Sullivan sisters.

Elizabeth Sullivan defeated Dame at No. 1 singles, 1-6/0-6, while sister Sara Sullivan took care of O’Neal, 1-6/0-6 at No. 2 singles. North Quincy was able to sweep the singles and the match when Mallory DeVoe beat Hanrahan, 2-6/0-6.
