The match was Smego's 43rd doubles win, moving him into a tie for 10th place all-time in career doubles wins.

Singles play saw more Ranger dominance, where they did not lose a set. Smego improved his singles record in the fall to 2-0 with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Mitch Gettis. The freshman, Lathrop, pulled out a 6-1, 6-2 win at number two singles over Ryan Kearns.

Seniors Adam Gerber (Montclair, N.J./Seton Hall Prep) and Matt Imbo (Islip, N.Y./Islip) improved to 2-0 on the season with straight set victories at the number three and four positions respectively.

Ryan Johnson (Hingham, Mass./Hingham) and Vin Mahon (Toms River, N.J./Toms River North) completed the Drew shutout with victories at the number five and six slots.
