Mike McDonald was victorious in a thrilling match against the Deacons' Steven Hobart, prevailing 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (1-5).

The Eagles fought hard in each of their three doubles matches, but just didn't have enough.

Markeese McLeod and Mike McDonald lost to Evan McCall and Peter Beckford by the same score in the final match of the day.
