In singles play, Arizona State did not allow the Bears to gain momentum. Milena Belianovich had a hard-fought battle in the No. 3 spot, falling narrowly 7-6 (3), 6-3.
Sarina Chhabra was able to force three sets with her opponent after losing the first set 3-6 and evening things up with a 6-4 win in the second set. Chhabra fell in a lengthy third set 16-14.
Head Coach Chad Stoloff after the match had positive words for his team,
"We battled for every point. They were too good today. Our team spirit was outstanding! This was a great opportunity for our team and program to play a powerhouse program early in the season. Sarina and Milena both had excellent matches with chances to win. We will grow from this match."
