Several singles matches featured competitive stretches, including a three-set battle at No. 5 where Largo Koch pushed his opponent before ultimately falling. Despite the final score, Wesleyan showed resilience across the lineup against a strong Eagles squad.

Later in the evening, the Bishops traveled to Winston-Salem to take on nationally ranked Wake Forest at the Wake Forest Tennis Center.
