Trinity nearly took a 2-1 lead after doubles play, but Kurdys and Peter Semak narrowly edged Bantam junior tri-captain Jillian Winer (Bolton, Mass.) and first-year Marta Drausnik (Zagreb, Croatia) at the No. 2 position, 8-7, with a 7-1 win in the tiebreaker.  Wins in straight sets by Pellegrini and Winer, who won, 6-2, 6-2, at the No. 5 spot, gave the Bantams three points, and a 7-5, 4-6 (10-8) triumph by Trinity rookie Ashley Walker (New Canaan, Conn.) at the bottom of the singles ladder made it four.  The difference in singles came at the No. 2 position, where Regal senior Sarah Seeman (Port Washington, N.Y.) edged Drausnik, 6-4, 4-6 (10-4), and a two other wins by the home team in singles gave California Lutheran a narrow victory.
