De Negri lost first in singles action at the No. 3 spot, falling to Shen Koay, 6-1, 6-4. Senior Conner Andersen, who was coming off of an impressive straight set win over Western Michigan last weekend, suffered a 6-4, 6-1 loss to UB's No. 5 player, Matthew Johnson.
The match was then decided after Nemanja Guzina got beat 6-1, 6-1 by Vilhelm Bridell on court two. The two most competitive singles matches came at the No. 2 and No. 4 spots for the Cardinals, respectively. Marko Guzina lost his match today in a second set tiebreaker to Nitttolo at the No. 2 slot and sophomore Chris Adams came up with a straight set, 6-3, 7-5 win over Nickolas Frisk.
