Box Score PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The Rutgers women's tennis team came out on top in the Brown Invite defeating host school Brown Sunday afternoon. The Scarlet Knights collected eight wins, including three doubles and five singles, to earn the finals victory.

"The whole team showed a great deal of mental and physical toughness this weekend," head coach Hilary Ritchie said. "They played confidently and stepped up on critical points. They showed real progress and growth."

In their first doubles match of the season together, Mai Nguyen and Cindy Zou beat Ali Maguy and Lindsey Hofflander, 6-3.

Naomi Karki and Karina Jumazhanova also got paired up for the first time this season on Sunday. They recorded a 6-3 win over Bella Hu and Hannah Shen.
