Saturday's match is now slated for 11:30 a.m. at the Jimmy Powell Tennis Center. Initially scheduled for 2 p.m., it has been pushed up due to the threat of rain in the area later in the day.

The winner will head to Sunday's CAA Final against either top-seeded UNCW or fourth-seeded College of Charleston.
 
The Rundown
Elon continued its dominance in doubles of late with a pair of 6-3 victories at Nos. 1 and 2. Neal Port and Salvador Mijares won their 12th-straight match together with a win over Jan Leithner and Marcus Smith. Just seconds later, Mario Paccini and Petar Tomic finished off the point with their win over Coco Haener and Niko Vulinovich.
 
In singles, Felipe Osses-Konig continued his solid roll of play at No. 5 with a 6-0, 6-2 win over David Schrott to make it 2-0 Elon. Jacob Bicknell followed with another quick 6-0, 6-2 win over Nick Silvestri at No. 6.
