Anderson began her day by teaming with Jennifer Brady at court No. 1, as the 19th-ranked duo downed 46th-ranked Tereza Bekerova and Margo Pletcher, 8-5. Anderson, the nation's top-ranked player, then downed Bekerova, 6-4, 6-1 at court No. 1 in singles play.
Ray, who did not play doubles, was also a straight-set singles winner on Saturday, as she downed Pletcher, 6-2, 6-2 at court No. 4.
Van Nguyen sat out of the singles lineup but made a contribution in doubles, as she and Kristin Wiley clinched the point for the Bruins at the No. 3 spot, where they downed Elena Najera-Salas and Luisa Da Rosa, 8-2.
Other singles winners for UCLA on the day were Brady (court No. 2), Catherine Harrison (court No. 3), Wiley (court No. 5) and Terri Fleming (court No. 6).
