Staret at No. 3 singles and Silver and Eric Podraza at No. 1 doubles fell in tiebreakers after splitting two sets.

• At No. 2 doubles, C. Wulfman/Ingersoll, M, defeated Shuman/A. Fournier, NC, 4-0, 4-0.
At Harwood, the Tigers forfeited the Nos. 4 and 5 singles slots. They prevailed in three of the five contested matches in coming up just short. Winning were Avery at No. 1 singles, the No. 1 doubles team of Isham and Benatti, and the No. 2 doubles team of Cromis and Ingersoll, all by prevailing in tiebreakers.
