The Wildcat women, sixth nationally, beat MSU 7-2. On the men's side, the Wildcats (12-7) swept all three doubles matches before MSU (9-2) made a comeback.

MSU's Vjekoslav Stipanic got the first Mustangs point with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 win over Eldel Campbell at No. 2 singles.

Luke Joyce moved the Mustangs with a win at No. 3 singles, taking a hard-fought match with ACU's Jake Hendrie 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7).
