In proper fashion, Miha Velicki and Elias Emilio Walter swept their Doubles match 6-0 on Court No. 2.

In Singles, the Cougars won every set across all six players.

Fresh off a Doubles sweep, Walter quickly took down his opponent 6-0, 6-3 on Court No. 4. He now holds a Singles record of 11-5.

Following Walter in straight sets were Sippel on Court No. 2 (6-4, 6-4), who also moved to an 11-5 overall record, and Velicki on Court No. 6 (6-4, 6-2) who improved to 10-6 this season.
No. 9 ranked Nuno captured the victory over No. 36 ranked Tyler Davis (6-4, 6-4) on Court No. 1 to extend his Singles record to 11-4.

Bohren held it down on Court No. 3 with a straight set win followed by Ivan Hornung who captured the last point of the match on Court No. 5 after a 7-6 tiebreaker (9-7) followed by a 6-2 second set.
