However, Miguel Avendaño and Andre’ Steinbach managed to win the lone doubles match for the Cards, defeating Julien Penzlin and Alessio Vasquez.

Head coach Rodrigo da Silva expressed his pride in the team’s competitive spirit, stating, “I’m very proud of how the guys competed today. To come back from losing five first sets in an away match is amazing. Now, it’s time to go back to the drawing board to make sure we don’t put ourselves in that situation again.”
