Boyd earned his 14th singles victory of the season, tying him with Kneppelhout for the team lead, as the second-year Seahawk won a hard, fought, 7-6 (7-3); 2-6; 6-4 victory at No. 4. 

The win marked Boyd's 32nd career victory, as he runs his all-time singles mark to 32-15 and 26-12 in dual matches.
