Three Captains finished 2-0 on the day including regionally-ranked senior Edvard Porsmyr Hansen at No. 1 doubles and No. 2 singles. He was joined by Alex Seretis and Ashton Legum among the CNU players to win in both singles and doubles. 

Porsmyr Hansen paired with Legum to help Christopher Newport get out to a doubles sweep with the win at No. 1 doubles. The veteran tandem won, 8-5, against Karl Hoegstedt and Aaradith Ravichandran for their first appearance on the top line this spring and added to their team-high with 14 wins overall this year.
