Senior Jordan Pitts has paced Trinity early in singles, posting a 3-3 record in the top two flights, including a 3-2 record at the number two line. Pitts collected singles victories against Div.

Freshman Hao Nguyen and sophomore Christian Settles posted perfect 3-0 marks in doubles to open the spring season. The duo collected two wins at the two line and one win at the three line, knocking off three ranked opponents in Hawaii Pacific, Cal Tech and Claremont-M-S.
