They followed with an 8-4 win over Houston’s Chems Doha Zeghlouli and Sophie Schouten in the quarterfinals, then topped Texas A&M’s Mia Kupres and Daria Smetannikov, 7-5, 6-1, in the semifinals.



In Tuesday’s final, the Baylor tandem defeated TCU’s Yu-Chin Tsai and Victoria Gomez O’hayon, 6-3, 6-3, to clinch the doubles championship.



Elsewhere in doubles play, Alian Zack and Kennedy Gibbs advanced to the Round of 16 with wins over Tarleton State’s Aya Ishii and Maria Castano (8-2) and Houston’s Valeriia Krokhotina (8-6).



In singles action, Kubacha led the way with three wins, including victories over Texas State’s Ireland Simme (6-2, 6-3) and Texas’ Mathilde Ngijol (7-6(1), 6-0), before falling in the Round of 16 to TCU’s Raquel Caballero Chica.



Dong reached the Round of 32 with a 6-3, 6-0 win over TAMU-CC’s Yana Mykytyn, while Wenfei Yu and Gibbs also recorded straight-set victories in their opening rounds.
