With a 3-0 Ospreys lead, Davis clinched the win for UNF with a 6-3, 6-0 score. Despite the clinch, UNF continued to dominate with a win in two sets by Isabel Oliveira. Jasmin Makela entered a tiebreaker in her first set and won the tiebreaker, 7-0. Makela continued her force as she left her opponent scoreless in the second set. With only one court remaining, the Ospreys had a 6-0 lead over the Wildcats. Melilo won a 12-10 seven-point tiebreaker to send the final court to a ten-point tiebreaker. There, she secured a 10-6 win to finalize the 7-0 sweep for the Ospreys.
