Shortly after the conclusion of that match, the duo of Ingrid Gamarra Martins and Brigit Folland captured a 6-3 victory. Rachel Rohrabacher and Silvia Chinellato capped the morning off by topping Caitlin Cridland and Megan Kauffman, 6-4.
Next, Carolina took on Middle Tennessee in singles. When all was said and done, the Gamecocks notched wins in four of the six matches. Martins, Folland and Rohrabacher finished off their opponents in straight sets, while Templeton used a third set tiebreak to come out on top.
South Carolina concluded play on Saturday with a doubles contest against Middle Tennessee, where the Gamecocks were able to come away with two more wins. Martins and Chinellato topped Alory Pereira and Maria Zehnder, 6-3, while Folland and Rohrabacher downed Sarah Sediri and Costanza Maggazini, 6-2.
