STERLING, Va. – In a season filled with close calls and heartbreaking setbacks, William & Mary took out its frustration in a big way on Friday afternoon. The Tribe turned in a dominant performance, rolling to a 7-0 victory over George Washington at the Trump National Golf Club.
 
In doubles, the Tribe won all three spots in commanding fashion to secure the initial point for the third time in the last four contests.  As a team, W&M did not drop a set in singles action, sweeping all six positions in straight sets. Sophomore Sebastian Quiros moved up to the top line for the first time and clinched Green and Gold victory with his triumph.
