Carles Anton pulled Troy within a point of victory with a 6-1, 6-3 win on court two to improve to 7-1 this spring, and Llinares clinched the win with a 6-4, 6-3 win on court six, his sixth straight win.
Vanja Dobrnjac picked up Jacksonville State's (5-5) only point of the match on court four before Erramuspe won by retirement on court five and Martinez won his ninth straight, 6-4, 6-3, on court one.
