Securing the second point for the home team were the No. 3 duo of Carleton Riester and James Wellborn who had the upper hand against their opponents as they also won by a score of 8-3. Wentworth was able to steal a point on the second court in a tightly contested battle to trail the Scots, 2-1 heading into singles.

Larson Benthem was next on the victory parade (7-5, 6-2) in the No. 5 slot, followed by No. 4 Riester whose 6-2, 7-6, 7-5 win clinched the victory for the blue and white.
