UMSV opened doubles play with a competitive 7-5 result at No. 1, where Alyssa Mendoza and Kayla Wallack battled Brooklyn's top pairing. Kaitlyn Mendez and Zoe Fields competed at No. 2 doubles, while Jadamarie Henry and Newone Samuels teamed at No. 3.
Mendoza and Mendez also competed at the top two singles positions, while Fields pushed her No. 3 singles match to a third-set tiebreaker. Fields won the opening set, 6-4, before Brooklyn rallied to take the second set, 6-2, and the deciding tiebreaker, 10-3.
