While the match hasn't started yet, the lineups have been posted on the live scoring page, and they show the same lineup as we used in the first two matches of the year:
1. Blake v. Aya El Sayed
2. Ma v. Elys Ventura
3. Yepifanova vs. Mila Stanojevic
4. Blokhina vs. Pia Rebec
5. Hui vs. Carri Hays
6. Xu vs. Ellen Puzak
Also the same doubles lineup: Blake/Blokhina on Court 1, Ma/Yepifanova on Court 2, and Hui/Xu on court 3.
FYI, the winner gets Maryland, who dropped the doubles point to UNLV but then rattled off four uncompetitive straight-set wins to clinch the match.
As a reminder, here's how we did against the Buffs in the regular season last year:
* We took the doubles point behind straightforward wins from Blake/Blokina at 1 (over Balzert/El Sayed) and Ma/Xu at 3 (over Puzak/Tokac), while Choy/Yepifanova lost 6-3 to Stanojevic/Ventura on 2.
* We won all the singles matches in straight sets except for the Blokhina retirement as noted previously (though since that was to El Sayed, who's now playing #1, that could have been one of the tougher matches of the day anyway).
* Ventura plays Ma today; she lost to Yepifanova last year 6-2, 6-3
* Stanojevic plays Yepifanova today; she lost to Blake last year, 6-3, 6-0
* Hayes plays Hui today; she lost to Choy last year, 6-1, 6-3.
Curious to see how the match goes on Court 1, but there shouldn't be much suspense elsewhere.
