The Hounds trailed 2-1 after doubles action with the tandem of sophomores Peter Demyan and Isaac Schefer earning an 8-4 win at second doubles to briefly tie the contest at 1-1.
Demyan was the first player off of the courts in singles action with his 6-1, 6-0 win at third singles knotting the score at 2-2; however, the Mules would win the other five singles matches. Senior Giovanni Lombardi forced a third set in his first singles match for the Greyhounds.
