"It was another great team effort today," DU head coach Danny Westerman said. "We had some different guys step in and do a great job, especially Luke Manley in singles and doubles. He stayed composed and came back from a couple of match points in the second set of the clinching win."
DU trailed 3-2 before Max Krammer (Perchtoldsdorf, Austria) tied the score with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 win over Greg Scott at No. 4 singles.
Freshman Luke Manley (Edmonton, Alberta) then clinched the match with his biggest win of his rookie season. Manley rallied for a 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 win over Axel Bouillin at No. 6 singles to give Denver its eighth win in its last nine matches.
Manley and Yannick Weihs (Guntramsdorf, Austria) also clinched the doubles point for DU with a 9-8 win over Ziad Sultan and Alexander Gryaznov. Weihs also added a three-set win over Benjamin Recknagel at No. 2 singles.
