Bucktail would sweep the singles. Eva Sockman would down CV’s Kylee Stone in a hard fought 6-1, 7-6. At number 2, it would be Bucktail’s McKenna Bissman picking up the 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 win over Cowanesque’s Chelsea Wattles.

Lola English would pick up the Lady Bucks’ final singles win with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Danika Gardner.
