At number two singles, Midler downed Craig Lods, 6-0, 6-3, while Colin Burling defeated Andrew Young in third singles, 6-1, 6-3. Pray, Midler, and Burling are all 4-0 on the year.
In first doubles action, Pray and Burling (4-0) bested Seymour and Lods, 8-3, while Goldman and Midler (2-0) were victorious in second doubles, 8-2.
The Yeomen will host Mt. Union College on March 1 for their next match (6:30 p.m.).
