Natalie Pinzon and Becca Jaimes lost 8-5 in their first doubles pairing, and Erica Garcia and Marbella Rubio won by default. "Obviously we're pleased with the victory," stated Head Coach Justin Webb. Webb also noted, "Becca has been playing really well, and it was great to see her continue that and win her first match in the #2 Singles spot. Erica and Mary exemplified what we have been talking about all year in terms of overcoming adversity with Erica being down 5-4 in the first then winning 3 straight games to take the first set and kept the momentum winning the second set, and Mary dropped the first, won the 2nd in a tiebreak and took control of the 3rd winning 6-3."
