The Saints have now tied their highest win total since 2008 at five, and stand with nine matches left in the season.
 
"It was a nice win before we hit a three-week break," said head coach Jeff Osborn. "Getting a win for our seniors today will be a nice memory for them to take with them."
 
Doubles play opened with a flash of excellence, as the Green and Gold sped through all three matches with wins, including a 7-6 (6) win from all senior tandem in Cameron Kirkwood and Alex Giannakitsidis.
