They were followed by their teammates, as the 21st-ranked team of Lauren Colalillo and Kady Pooler took down Orsolya Sallai and Chris Martinez 8-1.
The Devils proved to be equally strong in singles play as all six matches were swept by the Devils in straight sets.
Senior Lauren Colalillo defeated WSU's Amy Toth 6-1, 6-1 sparking her fellow Devils to follow her lead.
Sophomore Rebecca Rankin was right behind her with a solid 6-2, 6-0 win over Aleksandra Stefanova.
