Oswego's #2 and #3 pairs—Austin Davis/Miguel Garcia and Tyler Yhun/Colin Byer—each dropped their matches 6-0.

At the top of the lineup, Mannara battled in the first set against Josh Chu, but couldn't find a rhythm in the second, ultimately falling 6-3, 6-0. Demott and Davis, playing at #3 and #2 respectively, also showed fight early but came up short against their opponents.

Colin Byer and Miguel Garcia each managed to pick up a game in the second set, but the Yellowjackets proved too steady throughout. Tyler Yhun, competing at #6 singles, matched his teammate Mannara by taking three games in the first set, but was shut out in the second.
