RECAP
Rain and lightning aside, #14 Ashley Lahey's week in Tulsa culminated into gold on Sunday evening as she took down the #4 Alexa Graham of North Carolina for the second time in three weeks.
 
The first set was all Lahey, taking the set by a score of 6-4 under the lights at the Case Tennis Center. Graham was not going down without a fight, however, as the second set went neck-and-neck until Lahey capitalized on her sixth match point and ran away with the 7-5 win for the tournament title.
 
It is the third time the two have played each other in 2019, as the first match in May resulted in a Lahey loss, bumping her out of NCAA Singles Championship contention. The last matchup saw Lahey grab a commanding win as she beat Graham two weeks ago in the Oracle/ITA Masters quarterfinals.
 
Lahey has gone undefeated this season, after winning both the Oracle/ITA Masters and the Women's Collegiate Invitational over the past two weeks. The ITA All-American Championships title is her third straight championship in three tournaments.
