In the first slot, Emilia Richter (Berlin, Germany) and Emma Fleming (Suwanee) paired for a 6-2 win over Venus Ubiebi and Caitlyn Schultz.

Freshman Ashton Morrison (Cumming) got things started with a shutout of Maiya Broughton in the fifth slot. Bowie then beat Joachim in a shutout in fourth singles. Clinching the team victory in the third slot was Fleming, shutting out Bembery.
