Brian Zhu accomplished a "double bagel," rolling past his foe with a 6-0, 6-0 win. Drew Barclay did the same for his third win of the year, capturing a 6-0, 6-0 win as well.

Richie Hofstra and Jack McNally continued their success tour on Saturday at the No. 1 doubles spot. The duo romped to a 6-3, 6-1 victory for the Wildcats. Jack Showman and Thomas Deucher followed suit, 6-1, 6-3.
