Trailing 2-3, Brady's forehand winner down the line tied the match before her overhand smash at the net gave PLNU's top duo a lead it wouldn't relinquish.

Valencia (6-3, 6-1) and Pallencaoe (6-1, 6-0) continued their dominant form into singles, winning on Courts No. 5 and 6 respectively to put the Mavericks on the brink.
