“This was a great win for us against an excellent EKU team,” said head coach Bob Lake. Once we picked up the doubles point, I think that momentum just carried over into singles play and the guys didn't look back. This has been a great trip so far, and we want to finish it off playing the best we can.”

Leading 1-0 going into singles action,  Bargeron led off with a straight-set 6-2, 6-3 victory over Oasis as the No. 4 in the lineup. Morris gave App the 3-0 edge with his 6-3, 6-1 victory against Parth Aggarwal as the No. 3 on the roster. Webster clinched the match for the Apps with his sixth-straight win over Van Flymen, 6-2, 6-3. 

Alex Brea fell to Romain Stoffels as the No. 6 in the lineup in the tightly-contested match, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3. In the last two matches of the day, App got back on track when Maddocks defeated Mueller in three sets, 7-6, 5-7, 10-6.
