No. 4 singles player Austin Pan won his match via forfeit.
It was a similar story in doubles as well, where No. 1 Jon Rudolfs and Michael Jensen topped Sunil Hwang and Max Song 6-0, 6-1, and the No. 2 team of Tony Culler and Conner Bray disposed of Andy Chang and Stephen To 6-4, 6-1. The No. 3 pairing of Josh Greenwood and Thomas Parcell upended Kevin Spier and Sarin Parileh 6-2, 6-0 to round out doubles.
In an exhibition match, Austin Pan and Eric Johnson teamed up to down Max Song and Tony Minini 6-4.
