The Rams seniors showed some strong play in Tier `B' with seniors Patrick Jenkins and Andrew Jones scoring two wins each in singles play. Jenkins defeated Virginia State's Lyndon Facey, 6-1 and 6-2. He then went on to defeat North Carolina Central's Joey Estevez, 6-3 and 6-1. Fellow senior Andrew Jones was also strong defeating Lincoln's Tyrone Valentine by default and topping Virginia State's Robert Dunham, 6-3, 4-6, and 10-7.
