The Lady Ospreys (4-5, 2-0 A-Sun) stumbled at No. 1 doubles and lost at No. 3 singles when UNF's Ina Durcakova retired in the second set, but they were in control elsewhere. Natalia Sanchez won 6-3, 6-2 at No. 1 singles, while Vanessa Sanchez won at No. 2, Maria Melihova at No. 4, Victoria Krook at No. 5 and Carolina Melo at No. 6.
