Kellar went 2-0 at number six singles with straight set victories over Colorado Christian and CSU-Pueblo. Metro did not field a full team, thus defaulting at #6 singles and #3 doubles. Kellar and Niko Carrizo went 3-0 at number three doubles allowing just one game in the pro-set matches.

Mavs number one player Jordan Chomko posted a 2-1 singles mark, defeating CCU and CSU-P's number one player. Junior transfer Rashad Khamis defeated CCU by the score of 6-1, 6-2. Khamis dropped two close matches to CSU-P and Metro State. Khamis and doubles partner Kevin Nydam finished 2-1 at number two doubles.

Nydam and Carrizo both posted 2-1 singles records. Carrizo's third set tiebreaker singles victory was the deciding match in the Mavs 5-4 win over CSU-Pueblo.
