At second doubles, senior captain Alex Tremblay-McGaw and new-to-varsity Bella Frost used a high-energy performance to beat their opponent 6-0, 6-2.

"We played hard today and we were rewarded with a pretty impressive victory." Up next, the Dragons will take to the road to face Crystal Springs on Thursday afternoon.
