Danielle Hack and Thamonpan Jonglertrakul defeated their Siena opponents, 6-0, at No. 1, before Dylan Cannon and Renata Farima won 6-1 at court No. 2 over their opponents.
Jonglertrakul got off to a quick start in singles competition, winning 6-1, 6-1 at No. 4 to make it a 2-1 match, in favor of UMass. Farima grabbed the next point at No. 1 with a 6-1, 6-1 victory of her own. Mariya Krasakova made it a 4-1 contest with a 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 3 singles, while Hack finished 6-2, 6-0 on court No. 2. Cannon clinched the match point for Massachusetts, coming out on top 6-0, 7-6 (0) at No. 6.
