The hosts' No. 3 tandem of juniors MacKenzie Gisler (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) and Mikayla DeMaria (West Babylon, N.Y.) pushed past their MSMC counterparts by a 6-4 margin, before senior Lien Collings (Merrick, N.Y.) and junior Gabriella Loria (Levittown, N.Y.) teamed up in the second slot for a 6-3 decision.

All six Farmingdale State singles players captured straight-set victories, with Collings first into the scorebook with a 6-1, 6-0 triumph in the top flight. DeMaria (6-1, 6-0) and Loria (6-2, 6-1) followed suit in the sixth and fifth spots, respectively, clinching the team match for the Rams in the process.
