Yuliya Plevako and Maria Ortiz, at the number two doubles position, were broken a couple of times.  With the pair gaining three games, Plevako and Ortiz struggled to get anymore and they fell 8-3. 

Adeline Brennan and Camilla Xavier struggled from the start at the number three doubles spot.  The pair was unfortunately broken all four service games and fell 8-0.

With the Clippers behind from the start 3-0, the singles matches would be where the Clippers would need to prevail.

Yuliya Plevako, at the number three singles court, showed her strength on the court. With surrendering just two games and breaking her opponents other two service games, Plevako went on to win the set 6-2.  Plevako then went on to her second set and continued her court play.  With breaking her opponent twice Plevako took the second set 6-2 to give the Clippers a point on the board. 

Unfortunately that point would be the Clippers only point in the match as the Clippers dropped two singles matches for the team match to end 1-5.
