But the Eagles' Marissa Burian claimed a key point with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Sheyenne's Alyssa Sommerfeld at No. 2 singles.
In doubles, Davies' Lily Andrews and India Rohl scored a 6-3, 6-0 win at No. 1 over Sheyenne's Jayne Thompson and Hailey Beeter. At No. 2, the Mustangs' Abby Timmerman and Sophie Layfield almost pressed Davies to a third set but the Eagles' Grace Wanzek and Lily Wicklow came through with a 6-2, 7-5 victory.
