In the third match, Jennifer Johnson won the Curtis Cup for the U.S. She toppled Rachel Jennings, 5 & 4, to give the Americans the 10 1/2 points needed for victory.

Cydney Clanton got another point for the Americans with her 4 & 3 win over Hannah Barwood. Jessica Korda picked up another point for the U.S. with another 4 & 3 win over Pamela Pretswell.
