In singles, Tanner Warners (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grand Rapids Christian) won his number-six match 6-3 and 6-1, but the Knights lost the next two singles contests and trailed 4-2 with three matches to play.

Needing a strong finish, Emmanuel Henao Estrada (Medellin, Columbia/Escuela Normal Superior "La Merced" lost his opening set in a tiebreaker, but came back to win the next two to win (7-6, 6-4, 1-0).

Harrison Sindelar (Westfield, Ind./Westfield) took home the next point in a straight sets win 6-4 and 7-6 (7-5) to even the match, and Corwin Kim (Livonia, Mich./Stevenson) clinched the win in a thrilling third-set tiebreaker to win his number-one match 5-7, 6-4, 1-0 (11-9).

COACH'S COMMENT: "Excellent, high caliber match," Calvin tennis coach John Ross said. "We were clutch in a lot of tiebreakers to come back and win.
