The Golden Bears have won four straight matches to improve to 6-4 overall while the AMCATS are now 1-5.

Masciadrelli teamed with No. 3 doubles partner freshman Brian Grohe to give WNE a 2-0 lead before Anna Maria's Dillon George and Calvin Weeks took a hard-fought 8-5 win away from juniors PJ Nassar and Peter LeFrancois at No.1 doubles. Masciadrelli also made his singles debut in the No. 6 slot and shut out Eric Boll 6-0, 6-0 after he helped blank Boll/Tyler Crabb in doubles, 8-0.
