Judson won the number two match while Agustin Cortes Flores swept with 6-2 and 6-0 victories. Tyler Sinclair rounded out the winning for the Warriors with two 7-5 set wins to lead Tech to a 4-1 win.

Head coach Brock Orlowski had this to say about the win, "It's great to be back on the court and competing. We are extremely fortunate and grateful to be having a season when so many other programs are shut down or cancelled. It was a great start to our year after having to battle through the adversity of having our spring cancelled, and spending five months away, to start out with a win. We have a long way to go, but today was a great first step toward achieving our goal as a team. One day at a time."

The Warriors are back on the court on Monday, September 28th when they play host to Goshen at 4 p.m.
