Lay and Andrews defeated Gergana Ganeva and Natalie Matko of DePaul, 8-6, to earn the third-place result. After a first-round bye on Friday, the Spartan duo won three of its four doubles matches.
Also in doubles, the Spartan tandem of sophomore Shelley Brady (Grand Blanc, Mich.) and junior Karen Gustafson (East Lansing, Mich.) fell in a consolation match to Gaby Coello and Ashley Jakupcin of Bowling Green, 8-3.
