Devan Sabapathy (8-3), and
Haidyn Green (8-7) collected five wins out of eight matches for the Violets.
"I thought the guys had some great results against a team that beat us last year," Head Coach
Horace Choy said. "Boren continues to play well and we had good wind up and down the lineup. Haverford should be a slightly tougher opponent and our guys are looking forward to the challenge."
The team will return to the courts on Sunday, September 24, to face Haverford College for the final day of the invitational.
