Lea Rolland, making her return after injury, and Summer Roybal fell at No. 3 doubles, 6-3, to MSU Denver's Kim Heddes and Bella Hernandez.

Lam picked up the singles victory for the Golden Eagles, coming back from a first-set deficit to post a 7-6 (8-6), 6-1 win over Hosking at No. 5 singles. 

Pavlova was once again in the match of the day, a battle at No. 1 singles against Haber. Pavola won the first set, dropped the second and was tied at 5-5 in the third when the match was called. This was Pavola's third straight three-set match.
