Freshman Nina Skoric tied the match at three as she took a back-and-forth battle on court five, 4-6, 6-1, 6-3, for her first collegiate win.
It came down to the third set on court two, but North Texas' Stadfany Nformi defeated junior Maria Dzemeshkevich, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, to claim the match for the Mean Green, 4-3.
