- In singles, began the spring nationally ranked at No. 122.
- Won six matches in the top singles slot, including over opponents from Arizona State, Stetson, Georgia Southern, and South Alabama

- First singles win came at No. 2, against FGCU (6-1, 6-3)
- Had perhaps the biggest win of the year for the Owls, in a match tied 3-3 versus his old USA squad. Won that decision, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4
- Made it a three-match streak with a victory over DePaul
- Also posted a 'W' over Clemson to tally four in the spring, all at No. 2
- Had three No. 1 doubles victories, against FAMAU, FGCU and USA
