William Smith seniors Molly Patterson (Mountain Lakes/Mountain Lakes, N.J.) and Laura Maier (Lancaster Country Day/Reading, Pa.) each posted her 12th singles win of the season to keep pace with Ware.
The Herons play their final dual match of the season at 1 p.m. on April 10, when they travel to Nazareth College to take on the Golden Flyers.
