Reece rallied back after losing the first set, 6-2, to win the next two sets by scores of 6-2 and 7-5 for his first collegiate championship. Litus and Wright, who were seeded No. 1 in the doubles flight 2, made quick work of Eastern Kentucky's Hugo Klientovsky and Carlos Pons, the second-seed in the bracket. Litus and Wright won the pro-set by an 8-2 score to claim the flight championship.
