PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- With a marathon three-set victory on Sunday afternoon, freshman Reagan Delp kept her team-best winning streak alive against 10th-ranked Carnegie Mellon, capturing her seventh straight win in singles play. The 24th-ranked Captains (9-6) suffered an 8-1 loss in the match on the road, as the host Tartans improved to 13-6 on the season.
