The Spiders defeated in-state rival George Mason 6-1 over the weekend led by five victories in singles play.

It came down to a tie-breaker on court #1 and Jesse hit a few big serves. After taking the doubles point, we had the momentum and took control of the match. I hope we can take some confidence from this match into the weekend in Philadelphia."
