Joey Loselle won in straight sets at number two singles (6-3, 6-1) over Garwood. Michael Mertz manned the three-spot and also won convincingly with a 6-3, 6-2 decision over Jakraraj Rungaseng. Sophiea continued the strong play in singles at the four-spot with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Volbers. Mitch Bulger took the first set in a tiebreak 7-6 (7-4) at six singles before Devon Dulin battled back to win the next two sets 6-0, 6-4.
