Gordon/Tresham would outlast their opposition in three sets to tie the match for the Panthers. FAU would regain the lead with a victory on court three. Georgia Johnson and Olivia Stasevich would battle hard, but would come up short as the Owls clinched the match. An additional victory in position two gave FAU the final point of the match.
