Saint Joseph's next took on players from rival Villanova.

Villanova is very respectable and a strong squad. It's always a big match-up in our schedule." Matt Glasgow earned a second First Flight win, beating Demitri Chimerakis 6-3, 6-3. Scott Fahrendorf beat Tuxen 6-3, 7-5 while Perez-Abreu notched a W in the third flight slot against Brian Maher 7-5, 6-1.
