Greene won a hard-fought match over Kristen Jack 6-1, 7-6 (5) and Hilborn defeated Amy Robertson, 6-0, 6-4
Blackburn recorded a "double bagel" win over Corin Romich to lead singles on towards victory.
She and partner Handy won their match 8-5 over Clarion's Romich and Jack. Handy also won her singles match 7-6 (1), 6-4 over Baumgartner.
Rizzi and Rhodes defeated Clarion's Megan Robertson and Kassie Leuschel in the number three doubles, 8-6 and then proceeded to win both singles matches.
Rizzi won over Robertson 6-2, 6-4 and Rhodes defeated Brittany Bovalino, 6-4, 6-1.
The victories over Shippensburg and Clarion propelled their dual match record to an impressive 18-4 mark.
Blackburn loves the fact that the team has been rolling over PSAC rivals.
"I think that it's a great thing to be winning against our rivals, the way our team is playing, I think we should be beating all of our rivals in the PSAC, we are just as strong as any of them," Blackburn said.
The win also extended their winning streak to six straight matches. They have also won 13 out of their last 15 matches.
This weekend, the team travels to Bloomsburg for the Bloomsburg Duals, taking on Queens (NY) and Concordia of New York on Friday, and then Bryant College on Saturday.
Blackburn believes that the team has a good shot of winning at Duals.
"I think we will definitely be one of the top teams competing and we will go out and do the best we can and, hopefully, take it to them and win," Blackburn said.
