Both duos of Pilar Jaurena and Vasilisa Polunova and Julianne Garcia and Alisa Savina lost their matches at one and two by scores of 6-3. In the No. 2 doubles battle, Melany Opolz and Alex Lopez fell 6-2 to make it a clean sweep for NSU.

The other three-set battle came at No. 1, where Polunova took the third ranked Tatjana Stoll to three sets, falling 6-0, 2-6, 6-4.
 
After losing their third match of the year, Cameron will have almost three weeks to regroup before their next contest of the spring. They will be in Wichita Falls, Texas, March 6-8, where they will battle Metro State, Colorado Mesa, Colorado State-Pueblo, and Southwest Baptist.
