Cortland concludes the combined fall/spring season with a 7-5 record. Oneonta (9-14), the defending SUNYAC champion, will face top-seeded New Paltz in the finals Saturday at 1 p.m. 
 
Oneonta led 2-1 after doubles play. Julia Holtermann and Maxie Karen won 8-4 at first doubles and Sophia Schutte and Brianna Shaw won 8-1 at second doubles.
