Tampa, Fla. (March 10, 2023) – The Bulls defeated VCU 6-1 on their first day of the back-to-back.

Sierra Berry and Grace Schumacher took advantage of the situation, securing a convincing 6-1 win on court one to give the Bulls the point.
 
In singles, The Rams took another significant hit to their chances, forfeiting court six and giving the Bulls an early 2-0 lead.
 
VCU responded with a win on court three, however USF proved to be just too much to handle on the day.
