RADNOR, Pa.: First year's Dominique Canale (Oswego, NY/Oswego) and Kaila Gaughan (Millville, NJ/Millville) outlasted Carbini's No. 2 doubles pairing of Samantha Trumbo and Adriana Scotto to win the match 9-8, earning the Knight's lone point Friday afternoon in an 8-1 loss at non-conference rival Cabrini College.

While the host Caveliers took two of three doubles matches, Arcadia nearly took a win at the top position. Seniors Megan Gillespie (Oro Valley, AZ/Ironwood Ridge) and Beth Osipowitz (Aberdeen, NJ/St. John Vianney) battled it out with Cabrini's Alexis DiCamillo and Katie Kennedy at No. 1 doubles, coming up short 8-5.

Sophomore Jasmine Peake (Coatesville, PA/Coatesville) went toe-to-toe with Trumbo at No. 5 singles. Trumbo would force a third set tie breaker after Peake won the first set 7-5. Trumbo finished the match with wins in sets two and three, 10-8, 10-8.
