Marko Galic teamed with Adam Kovac at the No. 2 doubles court to help give Toledo wi nthe doubles point and claim a 1-0 match lead. The Rockets went on to win five of the six singles matches. Galic (No. 3) and Kovac (No. 4) each won their respective courts in two sets, while Luis Kleinschnitz's win at the No. 6 court was decided in three sets.
