The Dutch would defeat the Chix by a score of 5-3, improving to 4-0 in the conference and 6-2 overall. Amelia Chmura, always ready to help the team wherever needed, played a great match at #1 singles, but ultimately fell to her opponent.

The 5-3 win was Holland's fourth 5-3 victory in a row. "This team continues to impress me," said Holland coach Kyle Kreps.
