Match One vs. Purdue Northwest
Result: W, 5-2

The Panthers set the tone early by sweeping all three doubles matches to take a 1–0 lead. The pairing of Sienna Opray and Amy Bloch picked up a 6–2 win, followed by Addison Lind and Maja Sandstrom matching that scoreline with another 6–2 victory. Skye Vandeleur and Alice Maccani completed the sweep with a decisive 6–1 result, giving Davenport full momentum heading into singles.
