In singles only five courts saw action giving the Frogs a 2-0 early lead. Tsai, the freshman from Taiwan finished her singles match in straight sets defeating UTSA's Magda Tuells two and one. Sophomore Jade Otway defeated the Roadrunners Fatima Gutierrez two and three for the Frogs' match clinching point.

The first set of Mercedes Aristegui's singles match went the distance into a tiebreaker. She battled Aleksandra Zlatarova of UTSA scoring seven straight points to win the tiebreaker and the set. She completed the sweep for the Horned Frogs in the second set 6-4.
This marks the ninth straight time in head coach Lee Taylor Walker's tenure the Frogs have started the season with a win. "Great to get the season started with this crew," Walker said.
