The remaining two doubles matches were each close. The Tartans' third doubles duo of Nicholas Wernink and Nadim Motaghedi bested seniors Daniel French and Yuvraj Narang 8-6 to even the team score at 1-1. However, at second doubles, senior Sahil Dayal and sophomore Anmay Devaraj were able to come from behind against Akshay Joshi and Derek Wong, winning in a tiebreaker 8-7 (1) to put CWRU ahead 2-1 heading into singles play.
