SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Fredonia State women's tennis team won the day's final two matches to take a come-from-behind, 5-4 victory over Plattsburgh on Saturday. The Devils dropped a 9-0 match to Oneonta earlier in the day.
With Plattsburgh ahead 4-3, the Devils needed wins in the final two matches to claim the team victory. Chelsea Mang came through in No. 6 singles after a three set battle. Mang won the first set 7-5, and dropped the second 2-6. She won the final set in a 7-6 (8-6) tiebreaker to keep the Devils alive.
