Robert Schulze, at No. 1 singles, was early in the third set when the match was called. Valentin Horvat won his first set and was late in the second set when his match was stopped. 

"We did not play particularly well in doubles," assistant coach Cesar Vargas said. "However, I was very pleased to see our team regroup and compete hard in singles to get the job done."

This was the lone match of the weekend for the Panthers. They will be back in action on April 4 against DePaul in Piedmont Park.
