Bloomsburg used a strong effort in doubles to take all three matches.  Ricky Dove (Port Matilda/State College Area) and Mark Schroeder (Basking Ridge, NJ/Ridge) teamed up at first doubles to win 8-3 while Tyler Pultro (New Britain/Central Bucks West) and Mike DiSanto (Center Valley/Southern Lehigh) fought their way to an 8-5 win at third doubles.  The second doubles combination of Jeff Nuhfer (Warren/Warren Area) and Lee Wexler (Lafayette Hill/Plymouth-Whitemarsh) trailed by a break for most of the match but were able to break back midway through and late in the match to eventually earn a 9-7 win. 

In singles play Bloomsburg tallied victories at the first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth positions.  Dove was a 6-1, 6-1 winner at first singles giving him 11 wins since Bloomsburg's spring break trip to Hilton Head Island, SC.
