WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Black Knights defeated Navy 4-1 and sung their alma mater second.

The match—part of the Star Series presented by USAA—gives Army a 12-9 lead in the all-sport competition. 

 The Black Knights set tone Saturday with a doubles point win, without being broken across the three doubles matches. Jenna Sabile and Julia Kelly rattled off four consecutive game wins on court No. 2 to win 6-1, before Isabella Brilliant and Madison Smith clinched the doubles point moments later on court No. 3 with a 6-2 win.

Army dropped a singles match on court No. 1 but faced little additional resistance. Jenna Sabile, Vennmukill Mathivanan and Emma Sy secured decisive wins on singles courts No. 2-4 to secure the team win.

The win snaps a three-match losing streak in Women's Tennis star matches—albeit with a pair of postseason wins over Navy sandwiched across that stretch.
