Colorado College (3-2) began singles where it left off in doubles as the Tigers posted a victory in the first match as Swenson knocked off Kable in straight sets 6-2, 6-0 at No. 4 singles. Salisbury didn't let up as the Sea Gulls reeled off five straight victories to win the match. Iosue began the rally as she won 6-2, 6-0 over Smith at No. 2 singles.
