The Blue Raiders (22-3) advance to tomorrow's second round against No. 8-seed Middle Georgia State (9-6) at 1 p.m. CT.

Lindsey Wilson captured the doubles point and three singles matches to advance.

Darija Mladenovic and Anastasiia Ivanchenko began the day by winning the third-seeded doubles match. The Blue Raider duo defeated Mackenzie Cook and Sophie Wilkinson 6-0.

Alexandra Parra and Lucia Mora locked up the doubles point with a 6-4 win over Linda Marino and Camila Caballero. Parra and Mora improve to 14-2 this season as a tandem with the win.
