He also teamed up with Florian Etienne (Paris, France/Jean de la Fontaine) (Paris, France/Jean de la Fontaine/Shorter) for the 8-6 win over Ferris State's Razvan Mag and Galarneau - who are third in the region.

Overall, Levandi is 14-1 in singles play and has won his last nine matches. In doubles action, Levandi is a combined 11-4.
