The Blues fell handily 7-0 at LC State earlier this season but atoned for it in a big way.

Lucas Huang had a stellar match, winning a doubles point clinching victory on the No. 3 court with Yang, before kickstarting singles play with a dominant 6-1, 6-3 win over Nell Rollin at third singles.

The Blues led 2-0 after Huang's singles win, but found themselves trailing and needing victories on both the No. 1 and No. 6 courts to win the match. Thomas came through first with a 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 win at the six to tie the score. Then, with everything on the line, Alexander Stage did the same at first singles and topped Pablo Herrera 6-4, 6-7(2), 6-2 to give the Blues the win.

Whitman closes out the weekend on Sunday with a NWC match against Pacific. Start time is set for 11:00 a.m.
