After a 1-11 finish Friday in its first day at the Princeton Invitational, the Owls responded with a 4-8 record in both singles and doubles Saturday against Syracuse University and Princeton University.
Before the start of the team’s matches, assistant coach Frederika Girsang decided to experiment at first and third doubles, moving junior Anais Nussaume to first doubles with sophomore Alina Abdurakhimova, and pairing sophomore Yana Khon, who normally plays at first doubles, with senior Minami Okajima at third doubles.
The new doubles teams went 0-4 on the day, but Girsang said each team showed promise.
“We liked what we saw with this new combination,” Girsang said.
