The only point for the Lobos was by Burguiere when she defeated Kristinia Vozniak 6-1, 6-3. Her match was the third to finish, but it wasn’t quite enough when Mississippi State clinched the match winning at the number two position.
The Lobos would not get any more points in singles play.
“Congratulations to Mississippi State,” said head coach Kelcy Mckenna. “We need to do a better job of starting in doubles.
