Northwestern started the day off with some very tight doubles matches, coming out victorious in two out of the three matches played.  CJ Lloyd (Shoreview, Minn./Mounds View) and Landon Ridpath (St. Cloud, Minn./St. Cloud Tech) came away with a tight victory at the one doubles position (9-7), and Spencer Deveau (Minnetonka, Minn./Minnetonka) and Davis Pfaff (Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove ) also came away with a win at the third doubles position (8-2). 

The Eagles were fairly competitive across the board in the singles action later on, taking four of the six matches played.  Lloyd (6-4, 6-0) and Ridpath (6-0, 6-1) had very convincing wins at the first and second singles positions, while Cameron Fair (Sterling, Kan./Sterling) pulled out a tight victory (6-1, 6-7, 1-0 (10-6)) at the fourth singles position.
