And, the brother tandem of John LeMar (North Tonawanda, N.Y./North Tonawanda) and Andrew LeMar (North Tonawanda, N.Y./North Tonawanda) earned their first-ever collegiate victory as a duo, defeating their opponents Tyler Underwood and Benjamin Spoor, 8-5.

The Dolphins' James Gayvert and Hallam Doney beat DC's Joey Gentile (East Amherst, N.Y./Niagara University) and Gregory Lowe (East Aurora, N.Y./East Aurora) in first doubles, 8-1.
