Lasota also made it two wins on the day, as he blanked his opponent at No. 2 singles, 6-0, 6-0.

Junior Brendan Rooney was Catholic's third performer to earn two wins on the day, winning at No. 6 singles, 6-3, 6-2, in addition to teaming with classmate Rob Alexander for the win at No. 3 doubles, 8-4.
