The West secured its first point of the afternoon in the opening match. Jaden Soong of Los Angeles, California, and Anna Fang of San Diego, California, led from start to finish. Despite a strong effort from Grayson Baucom and Grace Carter of the East team, the West duo closed out a 5&3 victory on the 15th hole.
The second match ended in a tie. East teammates Sohan Patel of Weston, Florida, and Alexandra Snyder of Orlando, Florida, got off to a hot start, leading by three holes through the first four. Their advantage proved short-lived, however, as Matthew Hull of Corona Del Mar, California, and Kelly Zhang of Hillsborough, California, rallied for the West and moved 1-up through No. 13. Neither side could gain separation down the stretch, and the match finished all square on the 18th hole.
The third match also went the distance and ended in a tie. Sam Carraher of Crown Point, Indiana, and Jodie Han of Lewis Center, Ohio, gave the East an early 1-up lead through the first two holes. West teammates Drake Harvey of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Honorine Ferry of Flower Mound, Texas, responded quickly and held the advantage from No. 5 through No. 17. The East pair battled back late to halve the match on the final hole.
The West's second victory of the session came from Landon Ashcraft of Scottsdale, Arizona, and Clairey Lin of Palos Verdes Estates, California. Facing Giuseppe Puebla of Royal Palm Beach, Florida, and Alexandra Phung of Forest Hills, New York, the match seesawed throughout the afternoon, with the lead changing hands multiple times. Ashcraft and Lin ultimately secured a 1-up victory on the 18th hole.
The final match of the day belonged to the East. Grant DeLorenzo of Houston, Texas, and Eliana Saga of Stevenson Ranch, California, controlled much of the match for the West, holding the lead from No. 2 through No. 12. After a stretch of halved holes, East teammates Jackson Ormond of Webster, New York, and Rayee Feng of Short Hills, New Jersey, mounted a late comeback by winning the final two holes to claim a 2-up victory.
