Francisco Gay and
Taiyo Kurata. Quickly following was a 6-3 loss by
Alex Asenov and

In singles, Gay and Kurata both earned wins for the Vandals. Gay stayed perfect on the season, taking down Tristan Sarap in three sets at No. 1, 3-6, 6-4, 6-0. Kurata moved to 3-0 in conference matches after defeating Elyes Marouani, 7-6, 6-3 on court two.
