In singles action the Yeowomen's ace, Ariel Lewis, continued to show her dominance. The No. 1 slot was a match-up of regionally ranked opponents, Lewis at #18 and Samantha Stille, #26. Lewis would win the match 6-3, 7-6 (7-1).

OC (10-7) had trouble with the Central Region's 15th ranked team. All three Oberlin pairings fell in doubles action. Seniors Olivia Hayden and Kelly Sipp were in a tight match before losing the tiebreak (9-8 (7-5)).
