Florida Atlantic picked up a court three doubles victory but ultimately dropped the doubles point best two of three. The two teams moved into singles play of a clinch-clinch format down 1-0. FAU's Marek Pazdera evened the score at 1-1 with a court five straight-set win. UM took a short lead before Owl newcomer Jan Kusy came back from being down one set, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, to even the match at two all. Senior John Bernard gave FAU its first lead of the match with a three-set win 6-0, 2-6, 6-3 on court #1.
The Owls' lead was brief, with the Canes capturing court three to turn fans' attention towards court six. Ultimately, the match was completed, but following a challenge the score did not count.
