We have a lot to work on in a short period this week to be ready for regionals."
 
Milka Genkova and Magdalena Stencel earned a hard fought win, 7-6 (7-2), over Maty Cancini and Regina Espindola of Iowa State, while Harsha Challa and Ana Tkachenko defeated Emma Corwin and Emily Kolbow of Colorado State, 6-3.
