The doubles team of Gena Garrett/Haley Lawson rolled over their opponents also. The singles match between Livia Morris and her opponent was a very long and entertaining match, as it lasted a couple of hours with Morris coming out on top 7-6, 6-4. The girls won the 2nd doubles match by default. The boys' Tiger team came out on top since Josey brought only two players. Ty Gillis and Javier Nealy waxed both their opponents in singles and the other three matches for the boys were won by default.
