KU prevailed in tough matches at first and second doubles, winning both in tiebreakers to claim a team point. The Bears' (0-5) top duo of Nolan Perugini (Reading, Pa./Exeter Township) and Santos held off Brenden Everhart and Sam Contestabile, 7-6 (4), while Josh Carl (Hummelstown, Pa./Lower Dauphin) and Benjamin Kelly (Medina, Ohio/Highland) slipped by Erik Weiler and Collin Adams, 7-6 (5) at No. 2.

Santos was outstanding in taking second singles over Weiler 6-0, 6-2 for his second win of the year.

Perugini answered Everhart's 6-1 opening set win with a 6-2 victory in the second. Everhart pulled out a 10-8 win in the super tiebreaker.
