In Michigan's other doubles match, the Wolverines faced each other with Julia Fliegner and Reese Miller emerging victorious.
In singles action, U-M squared off against Ohio State in seven of its eight matches. The lone Wolverine to not face a Buckeye, Emily Sartz-Lunde, came away with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Michigan State's Amara Brahmbhatt.
Michigan took all seven matches from the Buckeyes, with Lily Jones, Piper Charney, and Reese Miller each rebounding from dropping a first set to win in three. Jessica Bernales, Julia Fliegner, and Bayley Sheinin each won in straight sets. Ava Bruno ended the day on a high note for the Wolverines, winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 for her third singles win of the weekend.
U-M dropped just one singles match over the three days in its final tuneup before dual matches begin.
