At No. 6 singles, Riddell dropped the first set 2-6 and fell 3-6 in the second to Notre Dame senior Matt Daly.
As a sophomore, Daly beat Harvard’s 48-ranked Kunj Majmudar at No. 3 singles in NCAA first round play.
“It shows you the amazing depth they have on their team,” said Coach Dave Fish.
Barker, playing at No. 4 singles, lost his first set 3-6 but was playing well and tied at 3-3 in the second set. But Talarico maintained his poise and closed out the set with three straight games.
Talarico’s win put the Irish up 3-0 in the match.
Notre Dame’s fourth and final point would come at No. 5 singles, where Notre Dame sophomore Brian Ferrell defeated Turner 6-2, 6-2 to seal the victory.
The three matches that were suspended after Notre Dame notched its fourth point however were very competitive.
At No. 2 singles, Cliff Nguyen lost his first set, 4-6, but rallied to take the second, 6-2, and had dropped the first game in the third before the match was stopped.
