Scott said that the Big Green entered the weekend with high expectations.
"We were favored in all of our matches this weekend, so we felt pretty confident going into them," she said.
Scott and Winingham extended their winning streak to eight in the No. 1 doubles spot against Temple. Adler said that winning the doubles point in three out of the past four matches has been crucial to the team's success.
"It's really, really huge for us, and something we've been working on a lot in practice," she said.
Scott, Winingham and Adler also went undefeated this weekend in singles matches.
Dartmouth's 4-3 win against Temple was the closest match of the weekend, and maybe one of the closest of the year. The match lasted about four hours, and "was not decided until the last 15 minutes or so," according to Adler. Winingham's three-set victory at No. 2 finally clinched the match for the Big Green.
Scott and Winingham won their No. 1 doubles match, 8-3, but Temple came back with an 8-3 win of its own against Georgiana Smyser '11 and Shelley Carpeni '12 in No. 3 doubles. Adler and Carissa King '12 narrowly lost 9-7 in the No. 2 spot, giving the doubles point to Temple.
After losing the doubles point, Dartmouth had to fight to come back in the singles matches. Scott, Winingham, Adler and Ryan Reichel '11 went on to win their singles matches, barely edging out Temple for the 4-3 victory. All three won in straight sets at the No. 1, No. 3 and No. 6 positions, respectively.
Unlike Quinnipiac and Wellesley, Temple "made us work for every match until the end," Scott said.
Adler said that although every match has its ups and downs, the victory over Temple "was probably one of our better team wins of the year." She said that she was proud of her performance on Sunday, adding that it was "probably the most solid I've felt all year."
Dartmouth soundly beat Quinnipiac and Wellesley, winning both doubles points and sweeping the singles matches. The match against Quinnipiac took just two hours. The Big Green started off by winning all three doubles matches, dropping just two games total. Every singles player went on to win in straight sets.
In Saturday's match against Wellesley, the Big Green faced off against former Dartmouth assistant coach Brian Kuscher, who left the Big Green last year to assume the head coach position at Wellesley.
"It felt kind of strange for all of us to play against him," Adler said.
Saturday also marked the 2009 debut of Jamie Caplan '09, who had been out with a shoulder injury. Caplan competed in the No. 3 doubles spot with Carley Markovitz '10. The duo won its match 8-2.
Smyser and Carpeni's 8-7 loss at No. 2 doubles was the only dropped match of the day for the Big Green, and all six singles players won in straight sets.
"The team really kept its focus throughout the weekend and had just as much energy on the first day as the last," Scott said.
The team will play four games in California over spring break before kicking off the Ivy season against Cornell at 2 p.m. on April 3 in Ithaca, N.Y.
