TicketsPROVO, Utah – BYU flexed its home-court advantage and was able to defeat Cincinnati, 7-0, on Thursday afternoon.
Doubles were a tough deal for the Bearcats, who actually took BYU's No. 52 pairing to a 4-2 decision. Gabrielle Guenther and Rozalia Gruszcynska had that draw and are now 10-8 on the year together.
Sakurako Watanabe went to a third set, seeking to take sole possession of second place in singles wins this year.
It marked the first all-time meeting between the teams and UC's furthest trip of the season.

Cincinnati concludes its regular season Saturday at Texas Tech before starting the Big 12 Championships next Wednesday in Stillwater, Okla.
