On the singles side, Subramanyan and Engstrom added convincing wins on the lower courts. On court five, Engstrom downed Gabriel Bazertti in straight sets of 6-1, 6-1 and Subramanyan won every game in his match on court six defeating Jayke Ancheta 6-0, 6-0. Subramanyan now has 20 singles wins in his first year for the Highlanders.

McCann would be the clincher for UCR dropping Sergio Romero in straight sets of 6-2, 6-0 on court three and Abdallah added his 20th singles win of the season with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Antoine Voisin on court four.
