With the doubles point decided, action on court three was suspended with Salma Ewing/Sloane Morra up 5-4 over WSU's Kumkorn/Abouelsaad.

With the score tied at 1-1, senior Danielle Willson stepped up to the plate, downing Cougar Else Tse 6-3, 6-3 on court six to give the Women of Troy the lead. Next up, Trojan Grace Piper downed WSU's Hania Abouelsaad 6-3, 6-3 to extend USC's lead. Then, over on court three, Trojan #77 Snow Han fell to WSU's Maxine Murphy 7-6 (3), 7-5, bringing the score to 3-2. The match was decided on court six as Sloane Morra battled to defeat Cougar Yang Lee 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-4.
With the match decided, the battle on center court was played out with Trojan #41 Salma Ewing eventually falling to WSU's #91 Michaela Bayerlova 3-6, 6-4, 7-6(5).
