How It Happened

An extravagant doubles point was capped off with only two games being lost between the three pairings and two of the three pairings earning 6-0 victories. With that finished, they headed up 1-0 going into singles play. In singles play, the same kind of dominance was mirrored, with not a single Cobra athlete dropping a set en route to a 7-0 sweep over the Golden Bulls.

Notables

Today was the first time this season that Drake and Grove paired up in doubles in a dual match, with the pair earning a dominant 6-0 win at third doubles
