They will play the second seeded UVA team of Somdev Devvarman and Treat Huey on Friday at 6:00 pm.

Cancado and Srugo, ranked the 15th best doubles team in the nation, dropped Notre Dame's Sheeva Parbhu and Ryan Keckley in three sets on day two. The Monarchs won 6-1, 2-6, 7-5 over the 31st ranked team in the nation. Srugo and Cancado will now face in-state rivals and the number two ranked team in the nation of Treat and Devvarman.
