TSU 7, BCU 0
 
TSU started off their first match of the day on a strong note, as they won 2-of-3 doubles matches to take the early 1-0 lead heading into singles play. The Tigers took that momentum into singles play and ran away, winning at all six lines to claim the 7-0 win.
 
Naomi Von Bose earned a 6-1, 6-0 win at line one, while Warona Mdlulwa claimed a 6-1, 6-2 victory in the No. 2 spot. Mikalia Coleman had no problem at line three, earning a 6-0, 6-2 win.
 
Taylor Ellis's won in three sets 6-1, 5-7, 12-10 at line four, while Kennedy Holloway notched a 6-0, 6-0 sweep at line five. Franka Sindicic won by default at line six due to Bethune only having five players.

WMU jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after claiming two doubles wins at lines one and three. Von Bose / Mdlulwa dropped their match 6-3, while Daniela Koleva / Aroa Arrieta Castillo lost 6-2.
