Most notably, the Maroon and Gold are undefeated at home with eight wins and have won 17 of their last 18 matches at Baseline.

Juliet Zhang/River Hart would take the second match over Drake. Rallying for their teammates in the No. 2 spot, Dalila Said and Ekin Ercetin would earn the doubles point for Minnesota.

MATCH 2: MINNESOTA vs SOUTH DAKOTA
