As singles matches began, Trinity managed to tie the overall match score at 2-2, as Andrew Nelson defeated Niki Lavu (6-3, 6-1) in the fourth flight. Chait Krishna restored the Haverford lead by defeating Kartik Erodula 6-4, 6-2, while Kim brought the Fords to the brink of a clinch with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Rutledge at the number two spot.
