Minja Gligic and Jovana Peric, who rank No. 21 as a doubles pairing, completed the sweep by upsetting the fifth-ranked duo of Sarah Urbanek and Nadine Geschke at the top match 8-4.

Another default to start singles play by the Hawks at the No. 6 position gave the Blue Raiders a 4-0 lead in the match.
