Orno has won seven consecutive singles matches. Freshman Chris Klepatz won 3-6, 7-6 (6), 10-8 over David Pinto at No. 2 singles, while junior Rob West defeated Robert Switzer 6-1, 6-3 at No. 4 singles.

"It was great to win the doubles point without our No. 1 doubles team in the lineup," head coach Brian Etzkin said. "Phil has been playing well and Chris won another long three-set match. Today we played good, effective tennis."
