Momentum continued to swing BYU’s way as Bella Lewis picked up a composed 6–3, 6–4 victory at No. 6. Sue Yan Tan delivered one of the afternoon’s toughest battles at No. 3, rebounding after dropping the opening set to defeat Candela Aparisi, 4–6, 6–1, 6–4.
Sage Bergeson sealed the dual at No. 5, outlasting Natalie Lynch in a tightly contested match, 6–3, 7–6 (7–3), to clinch the Cougars’ sixth point. Cal Poly’s lone singles win came at No. 2, where Kennedy Buntrock edged Kendall Kovick in straight sets.
