Singles action saw tight matches throughout. The top spot featured a marathon match with long rallies, in which Corey Beshoar fell 2-6, 1-6. Eli Entsminger led early in the opening set at No. 4, but his opponent pulled away at a 4-6, 0-6 result. BC's lone point on the tea score came at the No. 6 spot as Nicely rolled. The senior cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 victory to round out the action.

Bridgewater is back in action on Wednesday as it hosts Lynchburg.
