The Cardinal claimed the No. 1, 2, 4 and 5 singles matches in straight sets, while Tiffany Brymer challenged Keiko Tokuda to a third set tiebreaker for a 3-6, 6-4, 6-0 loss.
At No. 2, the Cardinal duo of Kalvaria and Gabriela Lastra posted a 8-4 win over Safarova and Caroline Christian. The No. 1 and 3 doubles matches were never played.
