Ethel Li who won win three sets, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. The Cardinals won the last three matches, with two of three going three sets.
"The women didn't play with the focus in doubles they had the last two matches," head coach
Jack Barton said. "But, when it got to singles, they played with a lot of heart and determination. Although we lost today, we played much more focused in singles than we did in the last match so I think we are back on track to the competitive level where we want to play."
