Rachel Litchfield and Stephanie Post cruised to an 8-1 win over Kera Snyder (Portland, Maine) and Rebecca Kravetz (Wayland, Mass.) and No. 2 and then Misa Mai (Sanford, Maine) and Sarah Clay (Ossipee, N.H.) went back and forth with Melanie Thulin and Ariana Shemms, but again, the Springfield tandem pulled through, this time taking the match, 8-4.

The Cougars' lone victory on the day came at No. 1 singles where Long breezed to a 6-3, 6-2 win over London.

From there it was all Springfield as Foster posted a 6-1, 6-0 win against Kravetz at No.2, which was followed by a 6-3, 6-1 win in the No. 3 slot by Thulin over Snyder.
