In the singles competition, the top-seeded Cuba coasted to a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Claremont-Mudd-Scripps’ Nikolai Parodi. He avenged a three-set loss to Parodi in the Panthers’ 5-4 NCAA semifinal loss to Claremont in the process and didn’t drop a set during his five victories on his way to the title. 
In the doubles final, Cuba and de Quant defeated the top-seeded pair of Brian Grodecki and Alex Taylor from Williams, 6-4, 6-2. They also earned a straight-set victory in their semifinal match.
