BEAVERTON, Ore.
– Scott Barnett of George Fox University picked up wins at
No. 1 singles and No. 3 doubles, but the rest of his teammates were
not as fortunate as the Bruins dropped a 7-2 decision to the

and Matthew Houser rolled over Nick Jenness and Garrett Thompson
8-1 at No. 2.
Barnett won a tight No. 1 singles match with Murakami 7-6 (7-1),
6-4, but the rest of the day went Willamette's
way. Ferguson split sets with Lagielski before
prevailing 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 at No. 2; Houser downed Schulz 6-0, 6-2 at
