At court No. 2, Marc Roura Casi and Raul-Alin Dicu finished out the doubles competition with a 6-1 win.

The Ichabods carried their momentum into singles action where they won in straight sets at all six positions and held their opponents to one or fewer games won in 10 of the 12 sets played. Dicu and Roura Casi shut out their opponents and cruised to 6-0, 6-0 victories at the No. 3 and 5 positions.
