The Cowgirls faced No. 2-seed Pleun Burgmans and Emily Flickinger of Auburn in their fourth match of the tournament. The Lushkova/Laurente duo was not able to overcome the Tigers' effort and fell in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3.
Lushkova and Laurente, who were ranked No. 27 in the nation in the preseason poll, finished the fall with a 13-2 overall record and an ITA Central Region doubles title.
