Was the Owls' No. 1 doubles duo, pairing on the top court for all but two of the team's matches
Of the completed contests, the two picked up five victories, one of which was over the No. 38-ranked doubles team in the nation, from USF
That was as part of a stretch where the pair won four of six contests in the early going
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
On back-to-back days to close out the regular season, topped his Temple opponent; the first match was straight sets, while the second was a comeback battle in three to clinch the team win for his third three-set victory of the year

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
