The Bulls picked up individual wins in both singles and doubles and are now 7-7 on the season and 2-3 in the MAC.

The Bulls picked up a win at first doubles where Denise Harijanto (Jakarta, Indonesia) and Diana Popescu (Alexandria, Romania/AL. I. Cuza) defeated Kerstin Pahl and Priyanka Parekh, 8-3. Harijanto and Popescu have won each of their five MAC matches this season.
