Freshman Scott Andrews also played a tough match against Victor Kolarov at no. 6 singles, but eventually lost 6-3, 3-6, 10-2.

In doubles play, the Juniata tandem of Jarrad Silver (Bethesda, Md./Walt Whitman) and Arnab Chakrabarti (Alpharetta, Ga./Alpharetta) battled hard against Drew's Raul Smego and Elliot Smego at no. 1 doubles, before the Smego brothers came away with a 9-8 (7-5) win.
