Macalester shut out Farleigh Dickinson-Florham, Monday, Messiah, Wednesday, and Albright, Friday, and dropped a 6-3 decision to Allegheny, Wednesday.
 
At the top of the Scots lineup was Brian Utz, who didn't drop a set in four matches at number one singles while going 3-1 at one doubles, winning two of three matches with Carl Bermann before finishing up the week by pairing with Aidan Tirpack for an 8-6 win versus Albright.
 
Bergmann, after three matches with Utz, combined with Perry Campbell, playing his first doubles match of the season, for an 8-0 win versus Albright to post a 3-1 doubles record on the week.
 
Josh Doyle gave the Scots a potent 1-2 punch as he went 8-0 playing two singles and two doubles. He won all three of his doubles matches with Wilson Merrell, with whom he has posted a 7-1 record on the season, before teaming with Sam Naden for an 8-2 win over Albright to end the week.
