Montreuil (6-1, 6-2) and Klimas (6-3, 6-1) notched straight-set wins, while Bulut battled through three sets to defeat No. 45 Szpakowska, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. Jarvinen led 5-4 the first set before her opponent retired due to injury, giving Oakland another point. Piechowicz dropped a 6-2, 6-4 decision on the No. 1 court to Malak Arafat, who is currently ranked No. 35 in Division II women&#8217;s tennis.
