Gabrielle Hartman joined Fridrik in the win column with an 8-1 decision.
"Gabby played really well today," Maxwell said. "Her focus and determination showed with her win."
The Tritons have a break in their schedule after playing three matches in as many days and do not return to action until Saturday. EC will travel to Melbourne to take on the Florida Tech Panthers in a Sunshine State Conference contest. The match is scheduled to start at 1:00 PM.
