Wildcats Top Performers:
 

• The doubles duo of Raquel Coelho Rodrigues and Elizaveta Mikhailova were the Wildcats' only winners of their flight, taking down Millie Wileman and Alexandra Mille out of the second slot via tiebreaker at 7¹⁰-6⁸.

 

• #5 Mikhailova was also the only student-athlete to take a set on the singles side for LCU, winning the second set opposite Millie Wileman during a 2-6, 6-2, 3-5 battle left unfinished.

 

• The Orange and Blue were painstakingly close to swinging the doubles point their way as the doubles partnership on the top line (Patricia Principal Pineda / Ana Sofia Ferrer Martinez) nearly pulled one out versus Lucia Popluharova / Saskia Vogelzang, eventually succumbing by a 7¹⁰-6⁸ margin.

 

• Principal Pineda was on the doorstep of evening up the score on court one when the match was called, bouncing back from a 6-4 setback in the first set to lead 5-2 in the second, but unfortunately was unable to get the job done in time.

 

• #2 Coelho Rodrigues collected eight games during her rendezvous with the Saints' Popluharova (6-4, 6-4) while #3 Alexandra Cedeno gave Ana Ossio a scare during their 2-6, 4-5 tussle.
