In doubles play, Cesar Leon (Woodhaven, NY/Brooklyn Tech) and Clarke Freeman (York, PA/Central York) fell 8-0, and soon after Evan Katz (Ellicott City, MD/Centennial) and Wes McCollum (Harrisburg/Central Dauphin) fell in the third position, 8-3. Jeremy Nolt (Bloomsburg/Central Columbia) and Chris Cozzillio (Harrisburg/Trinity) experienced a little more success against the Eagles, but eventually fell 8-5, digging an early hole for the Colonels.

In single play it was more of the same, as Cozzillio was defeated 6-1, 6-0, while Katz and McCollum finished at the same time to end the match, 6-0.
