Buergis will face Chrissie Nolan of Michigan for the consolation championship on Sunday. The other singles win came from newcomer Nischela Reddy with a three set win over Marshall's Lillie Nzudie.

The Golden Gophers faired better in doubles competition with three of the four teams defeating their first opponents of the day. The duo of Michaela Havelkova and Valerie Vladea defeated Bagnato/Cox of Richmond in their second round consolation match and later defeated Applebaum/Toro of Miami 8-6 to bring them to the consolation championship match on Sunday. Angela Buergis and Jeannette Cluskey won their second round consolation match, yet were defeated 5-8 in the second round by top seed Causevic/Marker of Maryland.
