With the win, IPFW improves to 18-9 on the season, while South Dakota State falls to 18-8.
The long match - taking over four and a half hours - opened with the Mastodons taking the doubles point, starting with an 8-2 win by Mayu Sato and Marcy Huck at No. 1. The Jackrabbits fought back with an 8-5 win at No. 2 doubles over the IPFW tandem of Miloslava Shustova and Emily Richardson. IPFW would not be tied for long, as an 8-6 win by Carlota Trevino and Ella Norgren at No. 3 gave the Mastodons the doubles point.
Sato, the 2014 Summit League Player of the Year, made quick work of her opponent at No. 1 singles, winning 6-3, 6-1, giving IPFW a 2-0 advantage. SDSU took their first singles win of the afternoon with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Ella Norgren at No. 3. Trevino picked up a 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 win at No. 6, as Huck ended the match with a 7-5, 7-6 (9-7) win at No. 5, sending the Mastodons to the championship match.
When the match ended, the Mastodons were leading at No. 2 singles, as Shustova held a 6-7, 6-4, 2-1 lead, while Sofia Sorokina was serving in the second set trailing 6-5 after a 6-4 first-set vicotry against her opponent at No. 4.
