In similar fashion to yesterday's match, the Greyhounds started with a hill to climb as they quickly found themselves down 1-0 after doubles. Maissane Aik and Maria Solnyshkina opened well for the Hounds as they sprinted to a 6-4 win. The Bronchos fought right back with a 6-4 win over Isabella Dunlap and Sofia Sharonova in the No. 2 doubles spot to even the score.

Following Lagoda's win, Aik lost in straight sets 6-4, 6-2 putting the Greyhounds down 3-1. But similar to yesterday, the team did not quit. They fought back with a quality win by Dunlap in the No. 2 singles slot.

Lea Cakarevic put on yet another strong performance in the No. 6 singles spot. After starting set one down 6-3, she kicked into another gear for set two, capturing the win 6-2. And in set three the young Greyhound was just faster than the Broncho as she sprinted to a 6-1 win to even the match at three-all..

It all came down to set three and with a trip to the ITA finals on the line, Amaning jumped out early with a 2-1 lead. Grace Chadwick evened the score and retook the lead at 3-2 with a dominant fifth game. Amaning replicated that with a crushing set-six win. It went back and forth from there as Amaning dropped the next game and took the one right after leaving it 4-4.
