Sara Akid and Emma Valletta then clinched the doubles point as they topped Maya Inouye and Mariana Zurita 6-4 in the No. 1 spot. The Utes wrapped up doubles competition with a 6-4 win with Emma Kamper and Dylan Lolofie defeating Ana Gutierrez Sampere and Olivia Bustos on the second court.
Utah continued their momentum in singles competition, as Roberts led the charge on the No. 6 court where she claimed a dominant victory in her first collegiate match, downing Coulome 6-0, 6-1. Barksdale then followed suit in the No. 3 spot when she topped Tsintsadze 6-1, 6-0. Akid then clinched the overall match victory on court No. 2 as she defeated Zurita 6-4, 6-0.
