BC's number-two doubles unit of Madison Bowen and Brooke Garland secured a point for Brevard in doubles action, defeating Alison Sloop and Riley Isley 8-5, but the Falcons took the early match lead with victories in the other two doubles slots to take a 2-1 match edge in singles play.
 
BC junior Hannah Hersh earned a thrilling win in a third-set tiebreaker at the number-one line, coming back after falling in the first set 4-6 to win the second set 6-4 and dominate the tiebreaker, 10-4. However, Pfeiffer would answer back with win in all of the other singles spots to earn the 7-2 team victory.
