Hattori’s two singles wins were collected against Yale’s Walker Oberg in a 6-3, 7-5 match and a perfect 6-0, 6-0 victory over Maxwell Moadel of Cornell. 

Three Nittany Lions earned three wins each, including Lindsay, Shri Murugesan and Alex Sterin. Besides his sweep in the Doubles category with Hattori, Lindsay secured a win in the Singles section over Luke Neal of Yale in a 7-5, 6-3 match. Partners Murugesan and Sterin swept the Doubles discipline as well, defeating Pinzon and Moadel of Cornell in an 8-4 matchup and capturing the victory over Yale’s Luke Neal and Walker Oberg, 8-3.
