Averett (9-2, 5-0 ODAC) faced some stern competition in doubles, with Roanoke (6-5, 2-1 ODAC) battling with a win at No. 2. However,
Jaeden Mukkaladyil and
Prabjeet Chandhok moved to 5-3 as a pair this year, taking out Federico Maccari and Julio Marques to grab the 1-0 advantage.

Alex Donnelly at No. 2 did the same, defeating Maccari 6-2, 6-0.
Roger Pamies Petit, in only his fourth dual start, remained undefeated, as he bested John-Henry Harrington, 6-0, 6-3. The other Cougars won as well, and extended the team's win streak against the Maroons to five.
