The Hoos would then win back-to-back singles matches to go up 3-0. Kaitlyn Rolls would earn a straight set victory 7-5, 6-3 on court three over Sebastianna Scilipoit, and No. 81 Yang defeated No. 101 Sofia Rocchetti 6-3, 6-4.
Raquel Gonzalez would pull the Canes back with her highest ranked win, a 6-3, 6-3 victory over No. 32 Annabelle Xu, but it would be too little too late.
No. 108 Lacy would earn a 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 victory over Jaquelyn Ogunwale to seal the match for the Cavaliers.
Miami will be back in action on Friday in Atlanta as they take on Georgia Tech.
