The Salukis (5-1) won all three doubles matches to claim the doubles point. They also captured wins at No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 6 singles.
"It was a strong performance from top to bottom today," said Jonny Rigby, graduate assistant coach. "We started off well in doubles and carried that momentum through to singles."
The nationally ranked doubles team of Piotr Baranski and Alex Pozo remained unbeaten at 3-0 after beating their opponents, 6-3, in No. 2 doubles.
