Pepperdine didn't slow down from there, as #37 Jessica Failla added another point to the Waves' side, beating Carmen Corley 6-2, 6-4 on court two before a loss on court six. Astrid Olsen snatched the clinch point from Marcelina Podlinska on court four after a stress-inducing first set seeing a tie-break where Olsen eventually came out on top 7-6(8), 6-2 to claim the match for the Waves at 4-2.

#36 Anastasia Iamachkine saw a belated win after the clinch point as she defeated Marceline Podlinska in two tie-breaks, going 7-6(7), 5-7, 10-4 to put the final score at 5-2.
