PISCATAWAY, N.J., –––– Winning the doubles point and earning three singles victories proved to be just enough for Indiana Women's Tennis to pick up a road victory at Rutgers, 4-3.

The Hoosiers had to go the distance to win the doubles point after splitting at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles. The duo of Laura Masic and Lara Schneider pulled away late at No. 1 doubles, winning 7-6 (7-5), to put Indiana up 1-0.

After, Rutgers won three of the next four matches to go up, 3-2, in position to clinch. Lara Schneider and Rose Hu helped the Hoosiers overcome the deficit, though, with each winning at No. 1 and No. 5 singles, respectively.

Schneider and Hu's wins put Indiana over the hump to win the overall match, 4-3.

Next, the Hoosiers host Minnesota on Friday for their second-to-last regular season match of the season.
