Kizziar opened singles play with a dominant 6–0, 6–0 win on Court No. 4. Gardner followed with a 6–3, 6–0 victory, leaving the Bruins just one win away from clinching the match.

Junior Shanah Denham secured the team victory on Court No. 2, winning 6–0, 6–3 after being tied 3–3 in the second set.

Sophie Denham added another straight-set win on Court No. 3, 6–3, 6–2, never trailing throughout the match.

Schnurbusch earned a solid win on Court No. 6, defeating Lyla Khlee 6–2, 6–3 to claim the Bruins' penultimate point.
