CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Mount Ida took two of three doubles points, which proved to be te difference in the Mustangs 5-4 victory Wednesday night in a marathon of over four hours at the Nicholas Athletics Center.

Senior Brenna Donovan played a part in two of Lesley's dour points, besting Danielle Riley 6-4, 7-5 in second singles and teaming with Katie Side to top Lizzie Olszweski and Kayla Horton 8-4 in first doubles.

Olszweski, meanwhile, came back with a 7-5, 6-4 win over Side in first singles, but senior Anna Mason provided the critical lift for the visitors. She topped Emma True 7-5, 6-4 in sixth singles and teamed with Patti-Ann Doucette to knock off True and Molly Phelps in third doubles, 8-6.

Lynx senior Hannah Phalen earned a 7-5, 6-3 fourth singles win over Doucette, and Phelps defeated Trish Quinn 6-4, 6-3 in fifth singles.

Lesley returns to play at home on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. against Newbury in both teams' NECC opener.
