How It Happened

A dominant victory on the doubles courts began this match with an exclamation point. Between the three courts, the Cobras only dropped four total games en route to taking a 1-0 lead heading into singles. Then, the Cobras quickly clinched a victory by winning the first three singles matches. They only dropped one match on the day while rolling to victory in Sumter!

Notables

This was the first dual match for Moyano and Warren in their Cobra careers. Moyano is a sophomore transfer from The University of the Cumberlands and Warren is a freshman.
Moyano didn't drop a single game in his doubles or singles contests, winning in doubles with Warren 6-0 and double-bageling his opponent 6-0, 6-0 on court six in singles.
Other than the loss on court three, the Cobras survived without any true drama. The five winning courts won in straight sets and none were taken to extra games or tiebreaks
