The Blazers claimed the winning court from flight two for the one-point advantage heading into singles.<\/p>\n UAB took the first singles court from the fifth flight, but another response from the Lions came in Ansorge’s 6-2, 0-6, 6-4 triumph over Klara Kajabova from flight two. Delaney added a second UNA win from the third flight, defeating Nera Tesankic, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3.<\/p>\n The Blazers closed the dual with victories on courts four and six in three-set battles.
