In singles action, WSU captured five of seven matches for the second-straight day against both Kansas and Hawaii opponents.
Ege Tomey cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 win over Hawaii's Sophia Storch while Colic matched that score in a victory over Hawaii's Saga Shermis. Ates rebounded from doubles with a strong, 6-3, 6-3 win over Houbova and Miksovska made it two singles wins in two days as she defeated Pits, 6-3, 6-2. In the final match of the afternoon, Yusupova needed three sets against Khmelnitckaia, and closed out the match winning the final five games for the 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 victory.
