Opening the day and the weekend, Emily Werman salvaged the only CLU win against the Pioneers in the morning. She used a third set tiebreaker to earn the 5-7, 6-0, 1-0 (10-7) win over Claudia Lew as the Regals No. 2 singles player.

On the second doubles court Carly Mouzes and Lindsay Murphy almost pulled out another point for Cal Lutheran, but ultimately fell 9-7 to Lew and Olivia Cornell.
