Richmond, Pa. – The Duquesne women's tennis team wrapped up its regular season on Friday morning, capturing a 4-0 sweep over Saint Joseph's. The Dukes capture its first conference win of the season while improving to 7-10 overall.

From the outset, Duquesne controlled the match by securing the doubles point with authority. The pairing of Naomi Lalonde and Sofia Serrano set the tone with a dominant 6-1 win at No. 1 doubles, while Taisia Yakunina and Alexandra O'Brien followed with a 6-4 victory. Jasa Roka and Denisse Arinez Guilarte completed the sweep with a 6-2 result, giving the Dukes early momentum.
