It was the second summer circuit title of the year for Chirico, who won the event at Bloomsburg University two weeks earlier.
Chirico, the tournament’s top seed won all six of his matches in straight sets. He lost just six games in five matches to reach the final. In the final, he defeated second-seeded Andre Iriarte of NC State 6-4, 7-6 to capture the title. Chirico teamed with Iriarte in doubles and the duo reached the finals.
