Number one singles player Danielle Walker pulled out a win in a 6-4 match, while number two singles Tiffany Vanichvaroon won both her matches by 6-4 and 6-2. Dunn's own tennis Willams' sisters, Anita (freshman) and Sunita (sophomore), played at number two doubles and won their matches at 7-6 and 6-0.  Freshmen Danielle Walker and Katri Morrison-Goulias played at number one doubles in a tight match scoring 7-6.

Dunn also substituted Erielle Webber and Keenan Manpearl, two new freshmen, as well as returning junior Magdalena Hernandez and new freshman Carolyn Dorwin. Wednesday’s success was “really good,” stated captain Julia Jones, “I was really impressed by our team’s sportsmanship, especially since we outnumbered the opponent, and had the opportunity to act out, or play unfairly, but we didn’t.” The team's next match versus Carpinteria on Wednesday, September 22^nd, at home.
