Classmate Constantin Radu and newcomer Timeo Bretin, and sophomore Ben Chetewy Ungar each have four across the campaign. In doubles play, Ontiveros and Chetewy Ungar lead the way with three victories.
The Owls (9-6) have been dominant as of late, entering the weekend on a five-match winning streak. Rice last fell to No. 8 Baylor, 4-3, on March 2.
Petro Kuzmenok tops the team with a 16-6 record in singles action, as Gabriel Porras, Kabeer Kapasi, and Noey Do all join him in posting double-digit wins.
