Senior Todd Jacobs and freshman Asher Salam followed suit with an 8-3 win over Bobby Cozzillio and Adam Lah, before freshmen Aaron Saperstein and Don Whaley picked up an 8-6 win against Jeff Lamberton and Paul Stuart at number three. Denefrio maintained the solid play into singles action, winning 6-3, 6-3, over Holliday at the first flight.

Salam earned a 6-3, 6-2 win against Lah at the third flight, and DiChiara, playing one spot higher than usual, defeated Cozzillio 7-6 (8-6), 6-2 at number four.
