In men's action, the Golden Eagles posted a clean sheet against UHSP. Alvaro Montijano and James Bamberger in the top doubles draw got beat 6-2 by Hudson Dick and Jonathan Hillock. Caden Hillman and Gavin Brown lost the second doubles match 6-4 to Carson Thoma and Mason Carey while Alec Johnson and Othniel Marcellus fell in the third doubles spot, 6-1 to Spencer Keeter and Blake Cunningham.
