On the singles side, Owens' first matchup pitted him against Wabash's Alvaro Alonso-Sanchez, and he was defeated in twin 6-3 sets. He fell to Cole Goodman of Trine in the first round of the consolation bracket, falling 6-3 in the first set before retiring due to injury in the second set.

Maack faced DePauw's Metzger in the first round of singles play, and he was defeated 6-4 in the first set before falling 7-6 in a tiebreaker second set (10-4). He faced another tough opponent in the consolation bracket and eventually fell to Hope's Jacob Burkett 6-1, 6-0.
