Villanova took a 1-0 lead at the end of doubles play as the Wildcats won all three matches. However, in singles, three matches had to be decided in three games. Both junior John Nespoli and senior Brad Nelson had the lead after the first game, but saw their opponents fight back and force a tie-breaker game. Meanwhile, after falling in the first game 4-6, Michael Gordon fought back to win the second 7-5 and force a tie-breaker in No. 5 singles. However, Villanova’s Brett Tobin won the tie-breaker 10-8.
