The momentum continued at second doubles, where the duo of Vihana Shresta and Yasmin Asnis defeated Lagille and Semon with an 8-2 score. The sweep was completed by Lola Ungerman and Ella Lindsey, who held on to win a tight 8-6 match against Finklestein and McCusker at third doubles.

With a 1-0 lead, the Red Foxes carried their momentum into singles play. At the top of the lineup, Lorentzon continued her strong showing with a convincing 6-0, 6-1 victory over Meidani. The most dramatic match of the day came at second singles, where Wachtel battled back from a one-set deficit to defeat Semon, 3-6, 6-0, 10-4, in a thrilling third-set tiebreaker.

The rest of the singles lineup was equally impressive. Shresta secured a solid 6-2, 6-2 win at third singles against Finklestein, while Asnis won a hard-fought match at fourth singles, 6-0, 7-5, against McCusker. Lindsey and Wright completed the sweep with dominant performances at fifth and sixth singles, respectively.
