In singles, Shie at No. 3, Day at No. 5 and No. 6 Zach Harris didn't drop a game in posting 6-0, 6-0 wins. Nos. 1 and 2 - Walker and Wong - each cruised to 6-1, 6-0 wins. Pliego turned in a 6-2, 6-2 straight set win at No. 4 to close out the 9-0 team win.

Monmouth travels to Lake Forest for a 9 a.m. match Sunday.
