Spitz won her matchup with Elina Sinz handily, leading by six points with seven holes to play at one point. Spitz finished with a four-point margin as Sinz conceded the final three holes.
Campos held a three-point lead heading into the last three holes of the day when Auburn’s Anna Foster cut the gap to just one with one to play. On the final hole – the par-4 9th – Zoe Campos knocked down a seven-foot putt to pull away and bring UCLA to a 2-1 lead.
Telfer ousted redshirt freshman Alessia Nobilio by two points shortly thereafter to even the score, 2-2.
