The win was Doran's eleventh straight in dual match play. He has been impressive over the last couple of months, moving up a slot to No. 2 singles and breaking the top 100 in the ITA's bi-weekly rankings at No.96.

Harvard's No. 6 Tom Lee was the next person to register a point. He made short work of his Big Red counterpart, 6-1, 6-3.

At No. 2, Green battled through a long two-setter that featured a number of extended rallies, most of which fell to Green. Although he did not over power his opponent in the 6-4, 6-3 win, Green's consistency and superb touch smothered Cornell's No. 2.

Newcomer Anthony Barker won his first match of the day when he broke serve in the final game of the third set to win 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. The win was Barker's first of the year.

The most exciting matched of the day came at the No. 3 and No. 4 positions. At No. 4, Passarella looked flat in the first part of his match, falling behind 1-6, 1-4.
