We played a different lineup each set and everyone contributed. I really liked Saphyre (Nofuente)\u2019s performance when she came off the bench in rounds 2 and 3. Finishing 11-2 in this field is a great weekend. We\u2019ll look toward New Orleans in two weeks to end the fall season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Commodores started their day using a lineup of Haley Lindley, Sydney Bohn, Avery Domaguin, Katelyn Abigania and Dannielle Henderson to earn a 4-2 win vs. No. 2 Nebraska.<\/p>\n<p>In round 2, Vanderbilt subbed in Saphyre Nofuente for Lindley and Alyssa Ballard for Bohn.
