In singles play, No. 75 Piotr Lomacki and seniors Henrique Tsukamoto and Wilfredo Gonzalez lead the way with four singles victories. Freshman Christian Langmo is following closely behind with three victories and fellow freshmen Andrew Harrington and Niclas Genovese each have two singles victories. Lone sophomore Bernard Tefel has one singles victory.
In doubles play, Gonzalez and freshman Kevin Bondar lead the way with an unblemished 5-0 record. Tsukamoto and Lomacki have also found success playing together with an overall record of 6-2.
