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.
