The Tigers, 6-15 and 0-2 in the SCAC, rallied to win four of the six singles matches. Junior Jason Gutierrez took the No. 1 match, 7-5, 7-5, over Nick Pena, while Delehanty was extended to a third set before defeating Newman, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4.
 
Freshman Daniel Holland won the No. 2 match and senior Casey Shaw was victorious at No. 6. Schreiner won the Nos. 4 and 5 matches in straight sets to seal the team victory.
