In the win over the Camels, Carolina won the doubles point with quick wins by Vladislav Melnic and Chris Xu at No. 1 (6-1) and Diego Jarry and Anthony Wright at No. 2 (6-2). Patrick Schoen returned to the lineup after missing three matches and teamed with Nick Mangiapane at No. 3 doubles. The duo was leading, 4-3, when their match went unfinished.
UNC won the first set in five of six singles slots against Campbell and went on to capture three straight-set wins to clinch the team victory. Jarry eased to a 6-0, 6-1 win over Chris Davis at No. 6, posting his singles first win as a Tar Heel. Melnic followed with a 6-4, 6-0 win at No. 2 over Aleksandar Hudjec to make the score 3-0.
