The Gophers saw a bit of a comeback, stealing wins on courts one and two before Oetzbach delivered the next blow, going 1-6, 6-2, 6-2 on court three over Siim Troost to remain unbeaten on the season and put the overall score at 3-2.

It was Zeitvogel once again who clinched the match for the Waves and remained undefeated himself (since March of 2019), winning 7-6, 7-5 on court four to seal the win for Pepperdine.

Enrique Luque Rico was last to finish but certainly not least, as he defeated Minnesota's Eli Ogilvy on court five 7-6, 5-7 and then going 10-6 in the super breaker to put the final score at 5-2 on the day.
