Alant won the first set, 7-6 (7-2 in the tiebreaker), but dropped the second set, 6-1, to set up the climactic third set. Again Alant was forced into a tiebreaker by Lecina and prevailed, 7-3, to give UB the match. The dramatics by Alant were set up by the Bulls rallying from a 3-1 deficit to claim the final three singles points. Yules Hadisubroto (Jakarta, Indonesia/SMUN 21) needed three sets to down Dejan Stankovic, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the number four match, while freshman

UB also picked up a tiebreaker win in the doubles competition, however St. Bonaventure had wrapped up the point with victories in the numbers one and two matches. UB's number three duo of Mike Rockman (Toronto, Ontario/Thornlea) and Matt Kennedy (Mississauga, Ontario/Erindale) outlasted Leo Mochizuki and Antonio Farias 7-3 in the tiebreaker, for the 9-8 win. St. Bonaventure's Stankovic and Hart defeated Singh Panthlia and Hadisubroto at number one and Nery and Lecina downed Alant and Duncan by identical 8-5 scores to clinch the doubles point for the Bonnies.
