WTEN: Panthers rebound to upend WestConn

DANBURY, Conn. – Junior Megan Marshall (Dartmouth, Mass.) and freshmen Tessa LaBarre (North Smithfield, R.I.) and Elena Cardoso (Hudson, Mass.) all won twice as Plymouth State University got back to its winning ways with a 7-2 victory over Western Connecticut State University in a Little East Conference (LEC) women's tennis match at the Westside Tennis Courts on Saturday afternoon.
 
Marshall picked up wins at No. 1 singles and doubles, while LaBarre and Cardoso teamed up at No. 3 doubles. LaBarre had to rally for a three-set win at No. 3 singles, as Cardoso didn't surrender a game at No. 5 singles.
