Against the Knights of FDU, Teixeira stepped in at #2 singles and defeated Matt Gordon 7-5, 6-4. Teixeira and teammate Alex Grubin (Belgrade, Serbia), who are ranked 4th in the country in doubles play, topped Gordon and Phillip Stephens 8-4 at #1 doubles.

The Clippers opened ECC action against rival Queens College. Teixeira and Grubin easily defeated Dave Alper and Taylor Crabill at #1 double 8-0. Teixeira also beat Dave Burstein at #2 singles 6-0, 6-2.
