The first day of Super Regional play brought us a few good matches and a few shutouts but they all ended with the home team coming out on top.

The Cardinal found themselves in a 1-0 hole after Kansas won the doubles point for the 25th time in 26 matches with a 6-2 win at No. 2 and a 6-3 win at No. 3. Each team claimed three opening sets in singles with three of the matches...
