Benjamin Wang won his match at No. 5 with scores of 6-1 and 6-3. Both Varade and Wang provided a quote of how they felt after the match.
 
Wang explained that "the doubles put us on a hot start with the 3-0 lead, and we played some great singles to get the clinch." 
 
Varade emphasized "we brought in some good energy from doubles which led us to a 3-0 lead. Everyone fought hard as a team which gave us the win."
