Rounding out doubles, freshman Kennedy Buntrock and graduate Kimberley Bhunu fought for a 7-6 (6-3) tiebreaker to complete the doubles sweep.
Bhunu kept the winning going, giving the Mustangs a point after her 6-4, 6-4 battle at the No. 1 singles spot.
The Dunkle dominance didn’t let up, as Delanie gave her opponent a double bagel winning 6-0, 6-0 and her sister Peyton cleaned up right after her with a 6-2, 6-1 win.
Buntrock extended her winning streak to three with a 6-3, 6-4 victory that clinched the match for the Mustangs.
