The Lakers faced a tall order in doubles play as sophomore Alina Ageichik (Minsk, Republic of Belarus)
junior Carolina Monterrubio (Mexico City, Mexico) fell 8-0 to Nicole Fossa Huergo and Lena Pacholski at No. 3.
 
That would be the easiest of the three matchups as juniors Darina Drozdova (St. Petersburg, Russia) and Maria Mendes (Sau Paulo, Brazil) fell 8-0 to No. 19 Alejandra Cisneros and Carolina Prats-Millan at No. 2. Senior Raluca Pavel (Bacau, Romania) and junior Kristiin Mets (Kuressaare, Estonia) had the toughest challenge yet delivered the best result.
