Whitman's top duo of Alexander Stage and Noah Baker struck first with a 6-1 win at first doubles. The Bruins evened the match with a win at the two, but Cameron Yang and Lucas Huang came through with a solid 6-2 win at the three to clinch the doubles point for the Blues.

Singles play saw Stage win his second match of the afternoon with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 win on the No. 1 court. Braeden Thomas provided the match-clincher when he rallied from a set down at the six for a 4-6, 6-0, 6-2 win over Luis Hernandez.
