The duo dropped the opening game, then responded with wins in four straight games. The RedHawks won three of the next four, giving Karg and Neuman a 5-4 lead when the set was called.

In singles, Tsadari earned a win in her first set at No. 1. Trailing by a game, she won three in a row to claim a 7-5 victory. The second set followed the same trend, as the junior fell behind, 3-4, before ending with three consecutive wins to give the Falcons a point.
