FAIRFAX, Va. – Rhode Island made quick work of Atlantic 10 rival George Mason Friday, knocking off the Patriots 4-0 to push its win streak to nine while completing a 3-0 Spring Break trip.

Sophomore Nikki Fernando won her 10th singles match in a row, beating Maitree Diksha Rout 6-3, 6-1. Her singles win clinched the team result for the Rams (10-2, 1-0 Atlantic 10). She and Nadia Rajan also won in doubles, beating Lauren Splett and Brooklyn Siegel 6-3 at No. 2.  

Rajan and Sophie Herrman won in straight sets at No. 2 and No. 1 singles, respectively. Herrman teamed up with Valentina Cvackova for a victory at No. 1 doubles.

While they didn't get credit for victories since play was halted when Rhody clinched the win, Cvackova, Klara Nelander and Steph Hylton all were up by a set when play ended.

"It was good to get our first A-10 win of the year," Rhode Island head coach Jonas Brobeck said. "We stayed composed and got better the longer the match went on. I am happy with how we finished up a great Spring Break trip."
