UAB's top pair of Kenley Adams and Devon May followed shortly behind with a 21-16, 21-13 triumph on court one over Katja Ehlers and Krissy Mummey to give the Blazers a 2-0 advantage.
The Cougars cut the lead in half with a narrow 21-19, 21-17 win on court two, and then evened the match on court five with a 21-16, 25-23 victory, leaving only court four left in action with the match tied 2-2.
