The game was reduced to Uxia Martinez Moral at No. 4, and she delivered with a valiant effort in a three-set victory after one of the majors, Julia Eshet tied the match three with a win at No. 5.

"You always want to have a great Seniors Day and a great senior send-off when it's your last home game," said head coach Courtney Nagle .
