After coming back from a 4-0 deficit in the third set, freshman Florentine Dekkers was knocked off by Emily Meyer 6-2, 3-6, 6-4.

Alloyarova and Turco fell to Memphis' Woog and Soares 6-2 in the No. 3 position.

The Tiger's Aran Teixido Garcia and Meyer were victorious against Job and Linares on court two, 6-2.
