Javier Quinones-Melendez and BRADLEY KALE each went 2-0. Quinones-Melendez teamed with TIM KO for an 8-5 victory in the No. 2 doubles. He then won 6-0, 6-1 at the fifth singles. Quinones-Melendez is unbeaten in his last 10 matches.

Kale and JOSH KONZ picked up an 8-0 win in the third doubles pairing. Kale then outlasted Luke Williams for a win at sixth singles. Kale took the first set 6-0 before falling 7-6 in the second set. Kale then emerged with the win after topping Williams 10-8 in a pro-set.

Steven Roughton and MATT HOLDORF rounded out the Nittany Lion winners. Roughton won at No. 3 singles (6-3, 6-1) and Holdorf picked up the victory (6-0, 6-1) in the fourth slot.
