COURTSIDE 

• The Rainbow Warriors grabbed the early doubles point. 

• Lucas Bollinger won his singles match in two sets. 

• Rithvik Katpelly won his singles match in two sets. 

• Sam De Vries won his singles match in three sets. 

• Perry DiGiulio won his singles match in two sets. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Aggies opened the morning with doubles, where Ryan Torres and Ivan Savkin finished first, losing to their opponent 6-4. 

• Next to finish were Lucas Bollinger and Kaveh Taheri, who also lost to their opponents, giving the early doubles point to Hawai'i. 

• The match of Sam De Vries and Rithvik Katpelly went unfinished since Hawai'i had already clinched the doubles point. 

• The Aggies started singles off strong with a win from junior Bollinger, who took down his opponent in just two sets. 

• Freshman Perry DiGiulio would follow with his own two-set win over his Rainbow Warrior opponent. 

• Keeping the same momentum, freshman Katpelly fought through a tie-breaker and ultimately took down his opponent in just two sets. 

• With the score at 3-1, the Ags just needed one more singles win to clinch their spot in the semifinals. 

•  That task was completed by senior captain Sam De Vries, who took his match to three sets and came out on top to keep the Aggies alive in the championship.
