The Ladyjacks fell behind early when Centenary picked up victories at Nos. 1 and 2 doubles to win the doubles point and take a 1-0 lead. SFA was down, 2-0, when freshman Laura Harrison defeated Christine Majchrowicz, 6-3, 6-0, at No. 2 singles, putting the Ladyjacks on the scoreboard. Classmate Lauren Nowicki followed that up with a 6-2, 6-0, win over the Ladies' Heather Kelley at No. 3 singles. Sophomore Megan Langston gave the Ladyjacks their first lead of the afternoon when she defeated Centenary's Brandy Smith, 7-6, 2-6 (7-0) at No. 4 singles.
