In the 5-2 win over regionally-ranked Adelphi, Tauson teamed up with Ondrej Sramek to defeat their opponents, 6-1, before going on to defeat Hugo Munoz Reinoso 6-1, 6-4. In the 5-2 win over conference-foe UDC, the STAC freshman and Sramek downed their opponents, 6-1, before going on to defeat Elouan Queguiner, 6-4, 6-4.
