Colorado College upped its record to 10-11 and will face second-seeded Southwestern University at 9 am Saturday morning in the semifinals. Austin College finishes the 2022 campaign with an 1-11 record. The quarterfinal match had been scheduled for 9 am in the morning, but a constant mist and overcast skies pushed the start time back to 3:15 pm local time.
A doubles sweep in the contended matches was all Colorado College needed to advance as Austin College fielded a squad with just four active players - allowing the Tigers to open with a 3-0 lead with walkovers at No. 3 doubles as well as No. 5 and 6 singles.
Malia Rivera and Gigi Jensen defeated Tara Tran and Elena Aventa at No. 2 doubles and Olivia Dicks and Maddy Meister clinched the victory for CC with an 8-1 victory over Austin's Gigi Francis and Sierra Thomas, 8-1, at No. 1 doubles.
