• Junior Colin Lucius and freshman Gage Sanchez teamed to take a 6-4 decision at No. 3.
• In singles, the Explorers cruised to six straight-set victories as La Salle players won 75 games compared to USciences' 31.
• Sanchez allowed his opponent at No. 4 to win just one game over two sets, while Lucius and fellow sophomore Connor Merrill gave up just two games en route to victory.
• Also taking home wins for La Salle were sophomore Nassim Fenjiro (No. 1), junior Rogelio Gonzalez (No. 2), freshman Brandon Caban (No. 5) and senior Andrija Bozovic.
