Aidan Tirpack was Macalester's lone winner, Saturday. After a slow start, he rebounded for a 0-6, 7-5, 12-10 win at three singles.
 
Sunday, the Scots rolled as they won all three doubles matches and four of six singles matches. Tirpack, Josh Doyle, Sam Naden and Perry Campbell all took part in a pair of wins.
 
DOYLE BOUNCES BACK

In doubles play, he had won six consecutive matches, five with Wilson Merrell, at two doubles before dropping back-to-back matches versus St. John's (3/29) and Gustavus Adolphus. However, he and Merrell came back with an 8-2 win Sunday.
