The win moves the Owls' record to 9-1 on the year and to 5-1 away from Paradise.
Director of Tennis Ricardo Gonzalez on Sunday's win
"Another great win today against a very good Santa Clara team, who came out fired up and ready for a battle. I'm happy with the way we finished, but we need to do a better job starting the match with a sense of urgency. Shout out to Fin [Stodder] and Nico [
Nicolas Jadoun] for a strong performance in singles play. Tomorrow will be another difficult challenge and our team needs to be prepared."
