Box Score

In doubles competition, the match appeard that it would be competitive. At number 1 singles, Maria Ciccolini and Cassie Simmelink bounced back from being down to clinch an 8-6 victory and earn the lone doubles point for the Blue Streaks. Number 3 doubles, Allison Mora and Deanna Boucahene also provided a fight; however, they fell 7-2 in a tiebreaker to lose the match 8-7.
