Zehender and Borodina made short work of their opponents from Utah State 6-0. Brink and Dobrilova added a 6-3 win holding off their opponents late and clinching the point.

In singles action, Zehender defeated Zeynep Ozturk by a score of 6-2 and 6-0. Borodina earned a win as well winning by marks of 6-2 and 6-3. Ante also earned the win and the clinching point with scores of 6-4 and a dominate win 6-1. Brink was ahead in her match with tallies of 6-3 and 5-2.
