The Terriers took a 2-0 lead to open the match, but the Bears won four of the last five points to secure the win thanks to a persistent effort by Marceau Foulihoux while fighting major cramping.

With each team holding a doubles win, Samuel Barrow and Andrew Branicki fell in a tiebreak on court two to Alex Horn and Robbie Young to solidify the doubles point for Wofford.

Wofford tied the score at 3-3 with a win on court one, leaving the match to be decided on court four.
 
Foulihoux fell in the first set 6-2 to Horn and was behind 4-1 in the second set but fought back to be down only one game at 5-4. He won the next three games to take the second set, 7-5. The sophomore won the opening three games of the third set before severe cramping hindered his efforts. Horn brought the score back to 4-3 in favor of Foulihoux.
