With Edelchik's win, the senior improved to 4-1 in singles play.
Sophomore Matt Kleiman battled to a three-set loss to Thomas Lake at the No. 3 spot. Kleiman took the first set but was topped in the final two sets to drop the match. The final score at the No. 3 spot read 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. At the No. 2 spot, the senior Wang went toe-to-toe with Diego Huttepain but couldn't manage to squeak out the win.
