Rochester also got a win at No. 2 doubles, as Sanjana Karnam and Jasmin Toor defeated Muhan Cui and Grace Qian, 6-0, in the first doubles match of the afternoon.
 
While Karnam and Toor's win at No. 2 doubles gave URochester an early advantage in doubles play, Mona Farah and Samantha Rainero topped Lauren Kallas and Hailey Kornbluth at No. 3 doubles, 6-4, to even things up, before Priyanka Challapalli and Walpole secured the doubles point for the Continentals with a 7-5 victory at No. 1 doubles over Lilly Caldwell and Yang.
 
Things moved quickly into singles play, where Rainero topped Kornbluth at No. 3 singles, 7-6 (7-4), 6-0, to put Hamilton up 2-0, while Challapalli made it 3-0 with a 6-2, 6-4, win at No. 2 singles over Caldwell.
 
Then, after Yang got the Yellowjackets on the scoreboard, Farah dispatched Esther Wang at No. 5 singles, 6-1, 6-1, setting Hamilton up to clinch, leading 4-1.
 
At No. 4 singles, Toor battled Qian, dropping the first game, 6-3, before topping Qian in the second-match tiebreak, 7-6 (7-4), but Qian would take the final game, 6-3, to take the match and clinch the win for the Contentials, now leading 5-1.
 
Cui and Karnam would then wrap things up at No. 6 singles, splitting the first two games, 6-4, 2-6, before Cui took the final set, 12-10, to finish off the 6-1 Hamilton victory.
