Shakhnoza Khatamova and Elizaveta Volodko then won 6-2 on court one, leaving the doubles point up to the court two matchup.
Amelia Honer and Kira Reuter then clinched the doubles point for Santa Barbara with a 7-5 win over Caragh Courtney and Simran Chhabra.
As the match moved to the singles portion, Camille Kiss shut out Mya Bui 6-0, 6-0 on court three.
Khatamova was also dominant in singles, winning her court one matchup 6-1, 6-1.
