The freshman rallied to defeat nationally ranked No. 101 Zaid Mashni of Wichita State after dropping the first set, earning a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory. He followed that performance with a win over Denver's Samuel Rovai, claiming a 5-7, 7-6 (0), 6-3 victory. Competing at the No. 2 position in all matches, Soderqvist recorded his 15th singles win of the season.
