NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Second-seed Columbia took a 7-2 victory over

a 12-10 win in the first game at #3, then wrapped up the match with
11-6 and 11-7 wins for a sweep. Sophomore Alyse Vinoski

key 13-11 victory in the third game.
Columbia took two four-game matches at the top two spots of the

also beaten in four games in the seventh match. First year
