No. 9 seed Stanford, No. 5 seed Miami, No. 10 seed Notre Dame and No. 6 seed California all advanced to Friday’s play.

No. 33 Stanford (13-9, 7-5 ACC) overcame the loss of the doubles point to edge No. 25 SMU (15-7, 7-5 ACC), 4-3. Trailing 3-1, the Cardinal got straight-set singles wins from Tianmei Wang and Emma Sun before Alyssa Ahn clinched the comeback with a three-set victory.

No. 32 Miami (14-6, 8-4 ACC) held off No. 63 Wake Forest (13-13, 4-8 ACC), 4-3, after sweeping the doubles point to take early control of the match. The Hurricanes added straight-set singles wins from Sebastianna Scilipoti at No. 4 and Sofia Rocchetti at No. 2, before Raquel Gonzalez clinched the match with a three-set win at the top spot.

No. 44 Notre Dame (18-8, 5-7 ACC) edged No. 24 Clemson (17-8, 7-5 ACC), 4-3, after sweeping the doubles point. The Irish picked up singles wins from Akari Matsuno at No. 2 and Jessica Kovalcik at No. 6, before Bianca Molnar secured the clincher with a three-set victory at No. 1. Clemson earned three singles points but could not overcome the early deficit.

Just before midnight, No. 21 California (12-6, 8-4 ACC) earned a 4-2 win over No. 14 seed Florida State, securing the doubles point with wins at Nos. 1 and 2 before closing out the match in singles.
