PEORIA, Ill. – The Eastern Illinois No. 3 doubles team of Ali Foster and Kristen Laird rallied for an 8-6 victory and the Panthers (4-2) rode the momentum of the doubles point into singles action for a 5-2 dual match win against host Bradley (4-5) Sunday afternoon at the Clubs at River City North.

Bradley sophomore Carly Miles enjoyed a 2-0 record Sunday, teaming with Kennedy Scott for an 8-6 victory at No. 2 doubles, then cruising to a 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 5 singles against Laird.  Junior Adele Henke added a 6-3, 6-3 win at No. 1 singles for the Braves, but the Panthers clinched the match by sweeping through Nos. 2, 3, and 4 singles.
