Today, against Briana Beauchene in the number three singles, Esrock was able to shake off the rust and win 6-3, 6-2. "I had only practiced twice the last couple of weeks. I had been favoring my leg, but today I didn't do that at all. It's good to get such a decisive win."

Svensson was playing at the one for the first time this season.Cassie Kasteler defeated Maria Bublik in the two singles, 6-3, 6-4. The Utes dropped only won set on the day, as Rachel Alder dropped the first set to Elana Smith 2-6, but came back 6-1, 6-3 for the win.
In the doubles action, Kasteler and Svensson teamed up to defeat Ilie and Bublik again, this time 8-1 in the number one spot. Maria Svensson and Allison Hansen lost to Smit and Chelsee Drews 8-4, but with Hilary Doyle and Rachel Alder teaming up for a 8-4 win in the three doubles, the Utes still gained the doubles point.
