Aragon (7-1 PAL Bay, 10-2 overall) lost at No. 1 singles, where Carlmont’s Milad Shafaie posted a 6-1, 6-4 win, and also at No. 2 doubles, when the Dons’ duo of Sean Hsu and Tyler Khun were forced to retire because of injury.

Carlmont (4-3) picked up its third win at No. 1 doubles where Jerry Liu and Iman Shafaie prevailed in straight sets 7-6 (7-1), 6-2.

But then the Dons mounted their comeback. Ilan Leventhal lost the first set 6-3 to Carlmont’s Chris Cho, but Leventhal won the last two sets, 6-4, 6-4 to take the win. Jason Hauk and Nicky Dobbs won at No. 3 doubles, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 and Arnav Kothari, who won the first set in a tiebreaker 7-5, but Carlmont’s Siddarth Srinivasan won the second set 6-2.
