Lenard Soha, Scott Sculley, and Jared Pratt each picked up a win in main draw singles play with three-set wins. The Badger teams of Colton and Sculley and Pratt and Soha both advanced to the third round of main draw doubles play while Krill and Vilela and Huber and Parts ended their reign in the second round. Daniel Nuznhy recorded two wins in the qualifying singles bracket while Chase Colton and Gabriel Huber each had solo wins in main draw consolation.
