He also won twice in a 9-0 win against Whittier College to start the trip.

Both doubles wins came at first doubles with junior partner Chaz Downing (Newport Beach, Calif. / Corona Del Mar) as they won 8-2 against Whittier and 8-7 (7-4) against WashU. Levine's first singles victories were by 6-0, 6-2 and 6-2, 6-4 scores, respectively.

The Tartans continue action in California today against ninth-ranked Amherst College before playing fourth-ranked Bowdoin College on Wednesday.
