Cabrini carried its 2-1 lead into the doubles matches, but could only add two more points.

Jaeger continued his winning ways with a 6-3, 6-4 win at number two singles.  LaMantia required a little more work to score his first career singles victory, as the rookie took the number three singles match 6-3, 4-6, 10-6.

While the Blue and White lost the numbers one, four and five singles matches in straight sets, sophomore Nick Scaramuzza took the number six match to a third set, losing the tiebreaker 10-4.
