The Utes couldn't find any momentum in singles. Barksdale fell to Astle at second singles, 6-3, 6-3. Townsend was also unable to defeat Huang on court one, 6-1, 7-5. Lopez put up a strong effort on court five against Tina Li, winning the second set, 6-1, after losing the first. She and her opponent continued to fight it out through the third set and into a seven-point tiebreaker where she lost, 7-6(3), giving BYU their match clinching point.
