St. Thomas claimed all three doubles events to take charge, but had to work hard to advance as Macalester's singles players played well.
Chris Fowler (Sr., Toronto, Ont. / Royal St. George's) won 6-3, 7-5 at No. 1 singles and at No. 2 singles,
Evan Elderbrock (Sr., Madison, Wis.) came back for a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 match. However, the Tommies held off the potential comeback with decisions at third and fifth singles to advance to Saturday's semi-finals against Gustavus. They clinched the win before matches at fourth and singles singles were completed.
St. Olaf topped St. John's in a close match in the other quarter-final contest and will play Carleton in the other semi-final event.
