Against McMurry, the Lady Patriots started fast in doubles, with Emilu Buchanan and Jenna Payne, as well as Isabella Quintero and Andrea Delgado, each winning 6-0. This early dominance continued into singles play, where Buchanan (line 1), Payne (line 2), Delgado (line 3), and Quintero (line 4) all secured victories, completing the 7-0 sweep. The following match against Hardin-Simmons saw Coach Morgan adjust the doubles lineup, but the results were the same.
