Guilford's lone doubles point came from Elijah Gregory and Mason Robb's 8-3 win over Bridgewater's Kris Stokes and Emmett Johnson.

Gregory's 6-2, 6-1 win over Johnson at third singles started the Quakers' rally. Godwin dispatched of Dillenbeck at first singles, 6-4, 6-1, before Robb finished a three-set triumph over the Eagles' Rodgers, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1.
