The Warhawks (5-1, 1-0 Sun Belt) picked up their first win of the afternoon at No. 2 doubles when Shivani Manjanna and Maria Alfaro posted a 7-6 win over the duo of Lindsay Truscott and Luis Hrda. That tied the doubles matches at 1-1 after Emilia Bujan and Arianne de Winter opened with a 6-4 win over the duo of Teodora Radu and Tiffany Phaysouphan at No. 1.

Hrda evened her mark to 1-1 on the day as she tied the match with a 6-4, 6-1 in singles over Salerno at No. 6. Georgia Southern (6-6,0-1) took a 2-1 lead in the match when Boixader won in straight sets at No. 3 over Radu, 6-2, 6-1.
 
ULM tied the match at 2-2 as Manjanna claimed a 6-1, 1-6, 6-1 win against Mila Hartig in the meeting of fourth-flight players. The Warhawks then moved within one win of the match when Alfaro notched a 7-6, 6-0 victory against de Winter in the battle of No. 1s.
 
Bujan continued the back-and-forth battle, evening the match at 3-3, by overcoming an opening set loss to eventually down Phaysouphan at No. 2 by scores of 2-6, 7-5, 7-5. That win set the stage for the decisive match between Garbino and Goines in the Sun Belt Conference opener for both teams.
