Junger and freshman David Kelleher each won their singles contests, which gave them a team-high 11 this spring.
Meanwhile, junior Tyler Brown bounced back with a 6-3, 6-0 victory against Marc Westgate at No. 2 singles.
The Birds received wins at Nos. 1 and 2 doubles, as the pairings of Junger and senior Pedro Zanotelli and Brown and freshman Joel Rubio came out on top.
