The James Madison Dukes used the all important doubles point to edge the Liberty Lady Flames, 4-3, in a non-conference tennis match Thursday.
James Madison captured the doubles point. Lady Flames Erica Fredstrom (So., Grand Forks, S.D.) and Ekaterina Kuznetsova won the #2 doubles match, 8-5. However, James Madison squeaked out an 9-8 victory at #1 doubles and won the point with a default in the #3 doubles match to take the point.
The teams then split the singles matches as the Lady Flames actually won three matches, but with two wins and a default, the Lady Dukes were able to take the team victory.
With the setback, the Lady Flames fall to 5-6 overall on the season.
Liberty now hosts Birmingham-Southern on Tuesday at the Randolph-Macon Women's College Tennis Courts. Match time is set for 2:30 p.m.
