Sue Yan Tan pushed her opponent to a close two-set match on court three but ultimately fell short with scores of 6-3, 7-5. YuYun Chen lost a competitive contest on court four (6-3, 6-4), while Sage Bergeson dropped her match on court five (6-4, 6-3). Bella Lewis was still playing when TCU clinched the victory.
