"Both Labicki and Holst came back to win in tiebreakers and they both showed a lot of toughness," said head coach Brian Dahlstrom. "It was a fun Sunday to close out the fall season with wins."
Ivana Stefanova (Streamwood, Illinois) and Labicki (Antioch, Illinois) lost at No. 1 doubles semifinals 8-2 to Lake Forest.
