The Colonels (3-5) swept all three doubles matches to take a 3-0 lead into singles play. Centre followed that up by winning the six singles matches to win the match 9-0 over the Eagles (4-3).

In doubles action, Midway was led by the duo of Jilian Verbrugghe (Macomb, Mich.) and Raquel Tyo (Grove City, Ohio) at No. 3 doubles. Verbrugghe and Tyo scored the most points of Midway's three doubles teams, but ended up coming up short 8-2.
