He closed his day with perfection against Spokane, first registering an 8-0 rout at No. 3 doubles with teammate Azur Ali, then pounding out a 6-0, 6-0 win over Spokane's Colton Erho at 1-singles.

Fennessy added a 2-doubles win with Luke Targett and and a No. 3 singles win against Spokane to round out his Saturday, and Azur also picked up a win at No. 6 singles against Willamette.
