Campbell would get a straight-set win on court two in singles to tie it 1-1, but it was all Bucs from there.

Freshman Khyanna Singh started the Buccaneer onslaught with a 6-3, 6-3 win at the third court then was followed by a three-set win from Madalina Man at the top flight, straight-set win from Zoe Cauthen at five to clinch, a three-set comeback from Tiffany Pyritz at six and three-set win at four from Michelle Schmitz.
