In doubles, WMU’s women were unable to seize the doubles point from DePaul, despite their early win at no. 2 due to the efforts of Caroline Aleck and April Kerr. Western’s duo bested the Blue Demon’s Patricia Fargas and Rebeca Mitrea 8-4.

In singles, the Brown and Gold won the last two matches of the day at nos. 5 and 6.

At no. 5, WMU’s Maria Nivia defeated Rebeca Mitrea 6-1, 4-6, 6-2.
