In singles, Do earned an 8-6 victory over Combs, Garcia beat Quinton Parsons, 8-5, and Coffer capped off the evening with an 8-0 shutout victory over Bailey.

Next on the schedule for the Tigers is Tuesday, when they head back out on the road to take on Carl Junction. That dual is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m., at Carl Junction.
