\nDrake earned the doubles point with wins by Maja Dodik<\/a> and Jordane Dookie<\/a> in the No. 1 spot plus Shiori Takeda<\/a> and Kristina Tai<\/a> in the No. 2 match. That early success was all the Dogs could manage as UIC controlled the singles action.

\nDodik and Dookie were both beaten in their singles bouts, the respective Nos. 1 and 5 matches. Takeda was taken down by the Flames’ Nia Cooper in the third spot while Tai could not match up with Anais Brown in the No. 2 singles tussle.

\nPaula Rodriguez Gregoris provided the Flames their final tally with a 3-set winner over Milana Dejanovic<\/a>, handing the Bulldogs their 4-2 loss.
