WASHINGTON, D.C. – James Madison blanked Howard 7-0 en route to its fifth straight win to start the dual season (5-0).
Five Dukes went 2-0 on the afternoon, including senior Dylan Owens who clinched match point with a two-set victory at the No. 4 singles position. She also teamed up with sophomore Jona Roka for the first JMU win of the day, a 6-1 decision at No. 2 doubles.
