    Not much optimism after the disaster of last match. Looks like Dahlstohm is back at 1 after not playing for who knows whatever reason.....it certainly cost UF the match.
    Sysoeva still MIA for weeks, also killing the lineup.

    Midway thru doubles and UF down a break on 2, other matches on serve

    5-2 on 1
    Lose 2-6 on 2
    4-2 on 3
    Probably need the doubles point to have a shot today

    Dudney gets her TB and match
    Spee loses 2 quick games and her match

    3-1 UF
    Briggs 5-2 trying to force a 3rd (her opponent is a very good player)
    Gailis in a TB, up 4-0
    Oliviera in a TB, up 4-3
    Race to the finish line....or a bunch of 3rd sets. UM has to run the table

    De Oliviera wins the race....Gailis was up 6-0 but couln't get the 7th before Emily crossed the line
    VERY strong performance today. And makes the UK debacle in the last match even more baffling and infuriating. ZERO reason to lose that match

    I will go glass half full and say the KY match woke them up. Might be a good thing long term.
    Biggest win in recent memory.

    Kinda thought that had happened after the Pepperdine blowout and the subsequent TAMU loss

    The thing I simply don't know was if Dahlstrom sat because of a valid reason or if he thought we win without her and wanted Shelton to get another match.
