\nIn singles, Rice picked up two wins. Kapasi defeated ACU’s Ethan Scribner in straight sets, and Porras added another victory with a two-set win over UTSA’s Maximilian Ontiveros. The rest of the lineup battled through close matches, including a third-set super tiebreak for Kapasi and a pair of competitive performances from Mandelbaum, but the Owls came up just short.
