Vandenbeemt was the first Saint to clinch a singles win, posting a 6-0, 6-0 shutout at No. 1 over Dorothy Tai. It is her second straight set sweep of the week, after not having recorded one all season.

Georgia Comber picked up a key victory for the Saints at No. 4, as she battled back from dropping the first set 2-6, to win the following sets 6-4 and 10-3 for the Saints final point of the day.

Other wins for the Saints came from Olivia Arroyo, who won 7-6 (7-3), 6-1 at No. 2 and Hallie Young who earned a 6-3, 6-1 win in the sixth position.
