But it was Laura Cazacu (London, England) who clinched the match, earning a 6-4, 6-4 win at No. 3 singles.  She came back from being down 1-4 in both sets. 

Marta Komar (Inowroclaw, Poland) and Brianna Douglas (Dayton, Ohio / Chaminade Julienne) didn't get to complete their matches, as the victory had been secured.

Cazacu and Liong were upended 3-6 at No. 2 doubles.

Playing at No. 3 doubles, Douglas and Laynes dropped their match, 4-6.
