Sophomore Grace Porter followed with a victory in third singles, 6-1, 6-4, while first-year Erin Johnson earned a win of her own in No. 5 singles with a score of 6-1, 6-3.
 
Junior Brenna Sheldon locked up Oberlin's fourth win in second singles when she defeated St. Olaf's Julia Ellis, 6-1, 6-3.
 
The Yeowomen victory was secured when senior Preeya Shah won a battle in No. 4 singles in three sets. Shah took the first set, 7-6(5), fell in the second set, 2-6, and won the final set, 10-8, marking Oberlin's fifth win of the day and clinching the overall victory .
 
Leclercq and Porter continued their strong play in doubles by taking No. 1, 8-5, while the first-year duo of Johnson and Ariana Abayomi won a close match in second doubles, 9-8(5).
