Meirovich, playing at #4 singles, defeated Jess Sanzo 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 to give the Griffins their fourth point and clinch the match win.  The senior athlete also started things off by teaming with Claudia Rasilla to win their #3 doubles match 6-0 over Sanzo and Lucia Corte, giving the Griffins the first of the two wins necessary to clinch the doubles point to open the match.
