Worcester, Mass. – Host Clark University swept through the doubles matches en route to a decisive 8-1 win over crosstown rival Worcester State in non-league women's tennis action on Thursday evening at Corash Tennis Courts.

Schweitzer also won in singles action with the afternoon's longest match. She took the first set of her match with Brooke Michanczyk (Middletown, Conn.) 7-5, before losing the second, 6-3. They went to a super tiebreaker and Schweitzer eventually prevailed, 10-4.

The Lancers lone victory came at No. 3 singles when Courtney Blais (Paxton, Mass.) defeated Clark's Maggie Swann (Portland, Maine) 6-4, 6-1.

Clark improves to 4-7 on the season with the victory, surpassing their win total from a season ago, while Worcester State sits at 5-7.
