UNLV came out blazing in singles, winning the first set on all six courts. Mircheva was first off, 6-1, 6-3 over Foerster at the second position; Sofiia Sokolvak also swept her opponent, Janigova, 6-3, 6-3, at No. 6; and Kaho Oyama ended things with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Wiem Boubaker on court five.  
 
REBEL OF THE MATCH: Junior Nikol Mircheva continued her rock-solid play, winning in doubles again before breezing in singles to improve to 19-6 overall and 14-2 in dual matches, including 7-0 vs. MW opponents.
