UWF v. LU (0-4)

The Argos were seeded No. 6 in the region and faced the No. 3 Lynn University in the NCAA DII South Regional. Last year, UWF ended Lynn's season in the NCAA South Regional Final.

The match was originally scheduled to start at 2:00 pm, but was moved up to 12:45 pm due to forecasted rain. Doubles started for about two minutes before lightning entered the area and the delay began. Action resumed around 4:30 pm until the completion of the match.

Lynn quickly came out and secured doubles and started with the 1-0 advantage. The knights also had the Argos number in singles. Order of finish for singles was 5, 4, and 6 where Lynn finished with the 4-0 win.

No. 3 Lynn advanced to South Regional II Final to face No. 2 Nova Southeastern and then ended up taking down the Sharks to secure their spot in the NCAA round of 16 at the National Championships.
