McCann trailed by two but bounced back to tie on the 11th hole. McCann moved ahead after a par putt on the 15th and added another point for the Noles behind a 3&1 victory just before play was called.
Bigham's match was back-and-forth and left the course tied.
The Seminoles defeated Georgia Tech in the quarterfinal to start the day, 3-2. All five matches in the quarterfinal stayed tight between the fourth-seeded Yellow Jackets and fifth-seeded Seminoles.
