Senior leader Luke Ainsworth continued his consistent play with a 6-1, 6-1 win. His record now stands at 12-4.
Sophomore Eric Crozier collected his 11th win by defeating his opponent 6-1, 6-0, while the young guns – freshmen Zack Pagnani and Ben McKeithan – both took care of business in two sets.
In doubles, all three Pam Pack pairs had little trouble picking up wins.
With the win, the Pam Pack keep their first-place spot in the Eastern Plains Conference and remain unbeaten with a 9-0 record.
The team will head to Greenville for an out-of-conference matchup against J.H. Rose on Tuesday.
