BRUNSWICK, Maine --

Sara Hughes (South Burlington, Vt.) earned a tough three-set victory over Joanna Toke at first singles to lead the Colby College women's tennis team to a 9-0 victory over University of Rochester at Bowdoin College on Sunday.

Hughes also joined up with Allison Dunn (Tucson, Ariz.) for an 8-4 win against Toke and Tara Pajoohi at first doubles. Dunn had a tough test in a 7-5, 6-4 victory over Pajoohi at second singles.

Paige Hanzlik (Oak Brook, Ill.), Christina Pluta (Mercer Island, Wash.), Lauren Uhlmann (Kansas City, Kan.) and Anna Erdheim (New York, N.Y.) were other singles winners for Colby.
