Junior Joe Green and Sophomore Scott Clark have also provided a spark in the bottom half of the singles line-up.

Green has won three of his last four matches, playing at No.2 and No.4. His only loss came against Pepperdine, in a three-set match that went to tiebreakers in the last two sets.

Clark has been equally impressive during this run, with three wins over four matches. Clark has shown the ability to go the distance in long three-setters and pull it out in crunch time. His last three wins have all lasted into the final set.

In the wake of the losses to two lower-ranked teams, the Crimson also rearranged its No. 2 and No.3 doubles.

Green and Clark have won three straight matches at No. 2 and appear to be establishing a good rhythm on the court.

Co-captain Mike Passarella was first paired with sophomore Andrew Styperek in the Boise State loss at the end of March. Though the team lost the match, the duo won there, and won every match until Styperek was injured against Cornell.

Twisting his ankle after a big serve, Styperek struggled through the rest of the set but eventually retired after the Crimson had won the doubles point. He will not travel with the team this weekend, but is staying positive about the injury.
