Over in no. 1 doubles, Caroline Casper and Arianna Chen were tested by Tess Trinka and Izzy Essi, but they prevailed with a close 8-6 win to take a 3-0 lead.

Over in singles, Zhao earned a pair of 6-3 set wins to win no. 1 single while Caroline Casper grinded out a 7-5 and 6-3 win in no. 2 single. Summer Garrison had little trouble in no. 3, winning her match 6-1 and 6-0 and Arianna Chen took down Sasa Jovanovic in no. 6 single 6-2 and 6-3.
