Not only has strong doubles play guided the Red Storm, but strong singles play has been a forte as well. Sergio Molina touts a perfect 6-0 record, and Nishant Dabas is even with him for total wins with a 6-1 record. Dabas won all four singles matches he played last week to tie the transfer from New Mexico.
