In the evening portion of the Saturday doubleheader, Valpo registered a 7-0 win versus St. Thomas Aquinas College (NY). Schorsch beat Javier Munoz-Laguna, 6-2, 6-0, at No. 1 singles. The straight-set victory was preceded by a dominant 6-1 win at No. 1 doubles.

Schorsch put the finishing touches on an excellent week with a decisive 6-3, 6-2 victory against Quinnipiac's Jonas Kuwert. Schorsch and Emhardt opened the day with a 6-3 win versus Kuwert/Julian Rozenstein.
