Smith and Collevechio added an 8-4 win over Benjamin Adam and Ryan Landry at No. 2 and junior Bryce Jones (South Williamsport, Pa./South Williamsport Area) and senior Joe Amento (Ambler, Pa./Abington Friends School) gutted out a huge 9-7 win over Jason Muller and Spencer Fountain.

Collevechio, though, came through with a 6-4, 4-6, 10-7 win over Moore to ice Lycoming's third win.
