In singles BU would take the momentum winning four of six matches.  At No. 3-No. 4 Anderson and Gustavo Marcanth (Redondo Beach, CA) grabbed the lone points for the Bulldogs with Anderson pulling out a three-setter 7-6, 3-6, 10-7, while Marcanth would win in straights 6-2, 6-3.

Calixto ran into a tough match-up with Corey Craig falling 6-0, 6-1 at the top spot, Nir would drop 6-3, 6-4 at No. 2 and Ledwith would drop in two as well 6-1, 6-3.  Linh Nguyen (Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam) made his collegiate debut at No. 6 and despite grabbing five games would ultimately fall 6-1, 6-4.
