The Cannoneers' team of Cory Marks and Neeka Gilardian earned an 8-0 shutout victory over the Knights' Ayashaii Vernon and Stephanie Kiu-Tse at No. 2 doubles, and Pratt won the No. 3 doubles flight by default.

When play switched over to singles, Pratt Institute closed the door. At No. 1 flight singles, Twu outlasted Zharkova by a score of 10-7, and No. 2 singles featured Kania shutting down Munoz, 10-0.
