PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown women's tennis team defeated Dartmouth, 6-1, on Sunday at the Pizzitola Sports Center. Senior Maddie Stearns (Short Hills, N.J.) highlighted the Bears' performances with a win over No. 100 Kristina Mathis in first singles.

Brown opened the afternoon with a 6-3 showing in second doubles by senior Alyza Benotto (Los Angeles, Calif.) and sophomore Devon Jack (San Marino, Calif.). Dartmouth tied up the round with a 6-4 victory in the third spot but Brown came back to take first doubles in a tightly contested match to win the point, 7-6 (2), with Stearns and freshman Courtney Kowalsky (Oyster Bay, N.Y.) teaming up for the triumph.
