The pair of Kylin Loker and Jaime Santer, who earned a bye in the first round of the champions bracket by going undefeated in pool play, advanced to the round of 16 with a win over Florida Atlantic’s Jillienne Cangelosi and Christine Jarman. But the duo was defeated by Washington’s Chloe Loreen and Natalie Robinson 17-21, 21-16, 15-13 with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line.

They will play against UAB today and will need two wins to claim the win in the bracket. Santer and Loker will play in the ninth bracket today, where they will take on Grand Canyon.
