West Point N.Y. – Junior Luize Strike (Riga, Latvia) and sophomore Anna Fajnorova (Bratislava, Slovakia) paired up for a win at No. 1 doubles and picked up victories in the top two singles spots on Saturday, as the Seton Hall women's tennis team recorded a clean sweep, 5-0, over Binghamton on Army West Point's campus.

Strike defeated Binghamton's Annie DiMuro 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) at No.1 singles, and Fajnorova dropped her first set to Rebecca Dellaway, 3-6, but rebounded with a 6-3, 6-4 set scores to complete the come-from-behind victory at No. 2 singles.
