Top seeds Mackenzie Knoop and Thavindra Ekanayake will play for the doubles championship on Sunday, earning a pair of victories on Saturday afternoon.  The Tiger duo defeated Stofer/Hunt of Southwestern 8-1, then reached the final with an 8-3 win over the fourth-seeded team of Blacketer and Blundell from UT-Tyler. 

Knoop will also play in the singles semifinals on Sunday, as four of the top five singles seeds advanced today.  As the top singles seed, Knoop faces fifth-seeded Sofia Vega of Texas Lutheran.  Vega beat Ekanayake - the #4 seed - 6-4, 6-2 to reach the semifinal.  Knoop won 6-0, 6-0 to reach the quarterfinals, then ousted Jessica Blundell of UT-Tyler 6-1, 6-2 in her second contest of the day.
