In the second match of the day, the host Mids won all-three doubles matches and all-six singles contests to post a sweep of St. Francis (N.Y.).

Bullard, Walls and Nicholas Gutsche (Fr./Sarasota, Fla.) rounded out the match with two-set victories in the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 spots, respectively.

"Jeremy New was dominant in all of his matches today - both doubles and singles," said Officer. "He's playing with a lot of enthusiasm. He plays so hard on every single point and never quits. He has shown tremendous amount of improvement."
