In singles play, Fordham claimed victory in four of the six matches. At No. 1 singles, Nevena Kolarevic took down Mia Palladino in straight sets, 7-5, 6-2. Julianne Nguyen earned another win for the Rams at No. 2, taking the first set 6-2 before dropping the second by the same score. She was leading 5-2 in the third set when Tilipman was forced to retire.
Chitambar and Sofie Siem secured the final two wins for Fordham. Chitambar defeated Bruu-Syverson 7-5, 6-3 at No. 4 singles, while Siem rallied after losing the first set to Mila Charles at No. 6, winning 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-3.
