## What happened

UVA Wise’s depth decided the dual. West Virginia Wesleyan produced the strongest named individual results through Sakurai and Marshall, but the Cavaliers won the doubles point and four other singles courts.

The doubles margin mattered because it forced the Bobcats to win four singles matches. They found two; UVA Wise answered across the rest of the lineup.

## Key contributors

- West Virginia Wesleyan’s Yuko Sakurai beat Oniton 6-4, 6-0.
- Emily Marshall beat Ertman 6-2, 4-6, 10-6; UVA Wise won the other four singles matches.

## What matters next

UVA Wise should carry forward the lineup balance. The review point is the lost doubles court: tightening that pairing would make the opening phase less dependent on two simultaneous recoveries.
