In singles play, the Owls won the first three matches to take a 4-0 lead and clinch the match victory. Both teams agreed to play out the remaining three matches on courts 4, 5 and 6.
Ramadan-Amin got Troy on the board with a 6-4, 6-2 win in the No. 6 spot. The Owls answered with a win on court 4. The Trojans closed out the match with a 4-6, 6-3, 1-0 (10-3) win in the No. 5 spot from Metwally.
