The strong performance continued in singles, where the team picked up three straight-setters on the way to the shutout win.
Carla Ortega, who was close to a doubles win with Kelly Drew before the doubles point was clinched, had no trouble in her match at No. 5, earning a 6-0, 6-2 win to start the Cajuns off well in singles play.
Drew shortly followed her, picking up a 6-2, 6-2 victory at No. 3. Johnson clinched the match for the Cajuns, defeating Natalia Parchowska 6-3, 6-0 on Court 4.
