The Spartans carried that momentum into singles competition, capturing all six matches to complete the sweep. Yuliya Yurkova controlled the top spot with a 6–1, 6–1 victory at No. 1 singles, while Regina Urbiola added another point with a 6–2, 6–1 win at No. 2.

At No. 3 singles, Elena Martinez Prado battled through a tightly contested match, edging her opponent in a third-set tiebreak to secure the point. Yana Klimchuk followed with a 6–0, 6–2 victory at No. 4 singles, while the Spartans continued their strong play throughout the lineup to finish off the 7–0 result.

With the win, Norfolk State completed a perfect day against Shaw, sweeping both doubles and singles competition to secure the convincing road victory.
