Avi Shugar and Lachlan Robertson clinched the doubles point, defeating a Husky pair 6-4 on court three. A one-zero advantage proved key in later in the match.

The next point came in favor of Oregon after Lenn Luemkemann defeated Jim Hendirkx 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 on court six. On court four, Matthew Burton lost his first set, but came back to bring in the deciding point for Oregon, beating Washington's Nedim Suko 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.
