In Singles, the Hoosiers found the same success. At the No. 2 spot, Paula Gutierrez vanquished DePaul's Marina Cozac 6-2, 6-4. The Hoosiers would follow with wins at the No. 6 and No. 5 spots clinching the match victory. Whalen won that clinching No. 5 match over Zaina Sufi, 7-5, 6-2.
After a DePaul win at the No.1 singles spot, Sarah McLean put the exclamation point on the victory for Indiana with a 6-2, 6-3 win at No. 3 singles.
