Valentin Dun won in straight sets on court four 6-3, 6-1. Murphy McCullough won in straight sets on court two, as Pascal Wagemaker grinder out a three-set victory on court one.
QUOTING COACH KONING
"We started out really well, but lost our focus a bit and gave momentum to Davidson. The team responded well in singles and were able to stay on top of the opponent a lot better. Johnny got off the court quick and that helps. Alex clinched it being aggressive in the last game. It's a good lesson to learn the first match of the weekend. I am looking for our focus to be more consistent tomorrow."
