In doubles action, Ethan Johnson and Nathan Stensland-Bos won at No. 2 doubles 6-2, 6-4 and Austin Stroeh and Hunter Robinson won at No. 3 doubles 6-3, 6-2.

“Austin and Hunter jumped out and won the first set and then held on to win in two sets,” Antoine said. “As a team, we need to work on putting the bll in play and then putting it where we can get an advantage and finish the point.

“We need to start getting in the right position after we hit a shot and we need to get ready for the next shot.”
