Scranton, PA - The reigning Colonial States Athletic Conference champions of Marywood University proved too much for the young Highlanders of Cairn University.

The loss reduces Cairn's record to 1-4 on the season and hands them their third defeat to start their conference schedule.

Despite being outplayed by the Pacers, there were overall signs of improvement from the Lady Highlanders. In 2012, Marywood   hutout the Highlanders in two of three doubles matches and two of the singles contests. Fast forward a year and the Highlanders earned a game in every matchup except one.

Both Liana Jensen and Natalie Livingston won at least a game in both of their sets, while freshman Sarah Doorly took two games in her opening set before falling 6-2, 6-0.

In doubles play, all three pairing for the Highlanders took a single game from their highly-skilled opponents.
