Pat Hickman had the lone singles victory for the Trojan boys with a 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 win over Bryan Schock. Troy swept the two doubles matches to force the overall team tie. Shado Garrett and Robb Higgins defeated Tyrell McCollum and Marius Eck, 6-1, 5-7, 7-6 (7-3) in a marathon match. At No. 2 doubles, Brandon Rebo and Jeffrey Rebo won by forfeit.
