Freshmen Laura Moreno (Murcia, Spain) and Julia Gutierrez (Quart, Spain) rolled to an 8-1 win over Aida Diop and Caitlyn Flynn at first doubles, senior Stephanie Puentes Robinson (Bogota, Colombia) and sophomore Amina Mrad (Berlin, Germany) notched an 8-1 triumph at No. 2 doubles over Erin Reitenauer and Catherine Garrity with sophomores Nina Sengl (Puchheim, Germany) and Raquel Morais (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) getting an 8-2 win at third doubles vs. Lindsey Tennis and Iliana Anapolsky.

The Lightning then took two singles matches before the remaining four were halted. Gutierrez got a 6-0, 6-0 triumph over Tennis at third singles and Mrad posted a 6-0, 6-1 victory vs. Garrity at No. 4 singles.
