Lafayette scored its biggest win of the season on Thursday as the Rams knocked off Grafton 6-3 at home.
The Rams, who entered Thursday on a two-match losing skid, ended Grafton’s three-match winning streak.
Lafayette won four of the six singles matches, losing at No. 4 in an 11-9 third-set tiebreaker.
With Lafayette needing just one win in doubles to secure the overall match victory, the Rams comfortably won in No. 1 doubles and barely edged Grafton 9-8 (7-1) at No. 2 doubles.
Lafayette (4-2) will host Woodside on Monday, while Grafton (5-3) will look to rebound at home against Warhill on Wednesday.
