The Lady Tigers dropped the doubles point after losing at the No. 2 and No. 3 position.  SSU's doubles duo of Tiffany Williams and Bria Burrows fell to Wofford's doubles duo of Lauren Reid and Samantha Russell 6-1 at the No. 2 doubles position, while Jennyfer Vivas fell to WU's doubles duo of Taylor Carlson and Catherine Martin 6-1 at the No. 3 doubles position.
 
SSU's doubles duo of Elizabeth and Rachida Kateb was trailing 5-2 to Wofford's doubles duo Cassidy Hicks and Kalli Karas when the doubles point was decided.
 
Geronimo, playing at the No. 1 singles position, came the closest in playing a tiebreaker set and fell to Martin 7-6 (5) in the first set and 7-5 in the second set.  Kateb fell to Hicks at the No. 2 singles position 6-0, 6-0 and Vivas fell to Karas 6-1, 6-2 at the No. 3 singles position. 
 
Burrows fell to Reid 6-0, 6-0 at the No. 4 singles position, while Williams fell to Russell 6-0, 6-0 at the No. 5 singles position.  The Lady Tigers did not fill the No. 6 singles position, so Carlson won by default.
