He was followed by Viel, who also won in straight sets 6-4, 6-1. No. 1 singles then concluded with Zeuch securing the W 7-5, 6-1.

The Hounds then moved on to face the Grace College Lancers in the evening, a team they swept in an exhibition match last Thursday. The story remained the same for the Hounds, who  repeated the performance with another 7-0 win.
 
The doubles matches were quick and easy with the sophomores Talimaa and Koenig taking a 6-1 victory, followed by Zeuch and Gerweck who did the same Doubles play wrapped up for the night when Gascia and Pedro Franca earned a 6-4 win for good measure.
 
Singles provided a challenge for the Hounds, with a number of matches going to a third set. First, Barader garnered a 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 4, followed by No. 1 singles Zeuch who took a 6-2, 6-4 win.
