Tulsa's Alberto Sottocorno and Ashley Watling won the No. 3 and No. 4 matches, respectively. Sottocorno downed WSU's Vlad Marinescu, 6-4, 6-0 in the No. 3 match, while Watling ousted Adrian Chermaci, 6-2, 6-1, and Ross Cunningham defeated Scott McCormick, 7-6, 6-7, 10-5. 

Cavalcanti's win came against James Seagraves in a straight set, 6-2, 6-3, decision.

The Shockers will be back in action Sunday morning with a 9:30 a.m. match scheduled against Sacramento State. The match will also be played at Tulsa's Case Tennis Center.
