Against Grinnell, who has won 191 straight MWC matches, the Scots played the same doubles combinations losing 6-2, 6-1 and 6-0. Day lost 6-2, 6-0 at #1 singles and Perez fell 6-1, 6-1 at #3. The others all lost 6-0, 6-0 including freshman Alfonso Mares (Oak Lawn, Illinois) who subbed in at #6 for Nickols as Corn moved up to #5.

Monmouth's three seniors, Corn, Day and Nickols were honored in a ceremony before the Cornell match which was moved indoors due to wet courts.
