Playing at Nos. 3 and 4 singles and No. 2 doubles, he was 4-0 in singles play and 3-1 in doubles with senior Will Newberry.

Chilcote won 6-2, 6-4 at No. 4 singles and fell 6-7 in doubles against Saint Joseph. Against Loras, he won 6-3, 6-4 at No. 3 singles and 6-4 in doubles. He won 6-0, 6-1 at No. 4 singles and 6-4 in doubles against Maryville. Against St. Norbert, he won 6-4, 6-0 at No. 4 singles and 6-0 at No. 2 doubles.

An All-OAC Second Team selection and ITA Scholar-Athlete honoree last season, Chilcote has an 18-10 overall record (9-5 in singles, 9-5 in doubles) this season and is 38-31 (18-17 in singles, 20-14 in doubles) in his career.

Riding an eight-match win streak, the Cardinals return to action on Wednesday at Cedarville at 3:30 p.m.
