The Trojans fell by a final score of 5-2 and dropped to 3-3 overall on the year.

After losing the best-of-three doubles point, Taylor evened the match at 1-1 when Evy Danemayer posted the first individual result of the day at No. 4 Singles.

At No. 5 Singles, Anna Stone registered the second point for the Trojans after defeating GU's Jaidyn Goode, 7-6, 2-6, 1-0, with solid bounce-back performance in the tiebreaker. It was also Stone's third singles victory this season in dual matches.

The Panthers clinched the match with a 4-1 advantage after edging out the Trojans at No. 2, No. 6 and No. 3 Singles.

Maddy Fuqua fell just short in a tough battle at the No. 1 Singles match. She won the opening set, 6-3, before falling in a 7-6 Set 2 tiebreaker to GU's Irlanda Oliver, who held on for the match tiebreak.

In addition, Ellie Schaufelberger claimed a 6-4 victory in Set 1 before falling in a tightly contested matchup at No. 3 Singles.
