In Friday's match, Dimovska, partnered with junior Yolandi Terblanche at the No. 2 spot, took an easy 8-2 win over Furman's Jacqueline Eckert and Marti Morris.

In singles play, the C-USA Player of the Week was the only Cougar to take a win defeating Southland Conference's Player of the Year Neill Hagood with easy 6-4, 6-4 sets.

Sunday's contest saw Dimovska and Terblanche once again taking an 8-2 win over GSU's Annemaria Fargacs and Anne Breiholtz. Dimovska went on defeat Fargacs, a two-time First Team All-Atlantic Conference player, with scores of 7-6, 6-2.
