The Cajuns advanced to the championship match and await their fate, playing the winner between No. 1 FIU and No. 4 North Texas on Sunday for a chance at their first Sun Belt title.
ULL gained the lead early by earning the doubles point. Milou Israel and Briggitt Marcovich took down Elena Najera (San Diego, Calif.) and Emma Isberg (Tyreso, Sweden) 8-3 at the No. 2 position, followed by the Cajun pair of Julie Mazinova and Audrey Wooland handling Denver's duo of Sophia Bergner (Schechen, Germany) and Steffi Rath (Hochst, Austria) 8-2 at the No. 1 court.
Rath answered back for the Pioneers with a 6-3, 6-2 defeat of Mia Gordon on the No. 5 court, but the Cajuns put together back-to-back wins to clinch the match at the No. 3 and No. 1 positions.
The women's championship match time is set for 1 p.m. Sunday at the Bruce David Lubel Memorial Tennis Courts on the campus of the University of South Alabama.
Denver finishes the season with a 9-14 record, including two wins at this week's championship.
