With the loss, LC falls to 0-1 while the Blues improve to 1-2. Whitman played three matches in one day as they fell to Boise State and Idaho earlier.
 
Anthony Croteau was the only player to steal a point from the Blues. Croteau, playing in No. 4 Singles was able to win the first set 6-3 before falling in the next two 6-1, 6-3.
