The No. 2-seeded Hornets rolled through doubles play, starting at the No. 3 flight.

Seniors Sarah Wyly (Leesburg, Va.) and Lilli Altenburg (Lexington, Va.) won the third point for the Hornets at No. 2, 8-6.
Lynchburg made quick work of the Eagles in singles play as Harris won, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 1 and sophomore Ellen Druebbisch (Jamestown, N.C.) was victorious, 6-1, 6-0, at the fifth flight.
The win sets up a date with No. 3-seeded Randolph-Macon, which defeated seventh-seeded Emory & Henry, 5-0, in their quarterfinal match. The teams will meet Saturday, May 4 at Virginia Wesleyan University in Virginia Beach, Va.
Lynchburg's women have never reached the ODAC title match.
