The sole victory of the day came from No. 3 doubles, where the sister duo of Rachael and Gillian Hush were able to pull off an 8-6 victory over the Blue Demons' Kirsten Gambrell and Sandra Zmak. Kylie Moore was able to take her match to three sets but ultimately lost, 6-7, 7-6, 1-0.

The next day didn't get any better, as Marquette ran into No. 3 Notre Dame. Outmatched and overpowered, the team was shut out by the Fighting Irish 7-0, and failed to pick up a single set. The Hush sisters almost pulled off another upset at No. 3 doubles, but botched the ending, 8-6.
