The other doubles match was left unfinished.
 
In singles, the Mavericks dominated the bottom half of the lineup winning five of the six sets in the No. 4, 5 and 6 flights without giving up a single game.
 
Richards defeated Frederick at the No. 4 match while fellow freshman Kelley, in the singles lineup for the first time in her young career, did the same over Hope Lubbers at No. 6.  O'Rear then clinched the dual with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Heidi Lubbers at No. 5.
