In the red doubles bracket, sophomore Abbie Mulbarger and freshman Aesha Patel captured a 7-6 (3) win over UTEP's Milena Baigorria and Rine Nozaki, but freshmen Agustina Rimoldi Godoy and Ellie Ashley were unable to overcome Autum Prudhomme and Martina Lo Pumo (GCU), dropping a 6-1 match.
The Aztecs also split in the black doubles draw, where senior Jenny Moinard and junior Mia Smith claimed a 6-4 victory over Ludovica Infantino and Valentina Mokrova (GCU). Senior Magda Aubets and sophomore Nnena Nadozie were hoping to snag a victory in the championship draw, but were overrun by TJ Fumagalli and Kristin Kerrigan (AFA) 6-1 in the matchup.
In singles action, Nadozie captured a championship victory in the white bracket over Kirsten Prelle of UTEP, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. Aubets was not as lucky on the other end of the bracket, dropping a 6-3, 6-4 decision to CSUN's Skyla Alcon in consolation play.
