BOX SCORE

READING, Pa.-
The Immaculata women's tennis team bounced back from their first defeat of the season with a 6-3 triumph in their first non-conference match of the season on Tuesday afternoon at Penn State-Berks (0-1).
 
The Mighty Macs (2-1, 1-0 CSAC) were led by two win days from junior Lauren Degnan, sophomore Kelly Gross, and junior Jenna Fratterelli.
 
The Macs won two of three doubles matches with Degnan and Gross combining in the first doubles position for an 8-2 victory.  Fratterelli teamed up with freshman Caitlin Savage in the first collegiate match of her career and got an 8-1 win in the third spot.
