In doubles action, junior Richard Nguyen and senior Kevin Martin put up the strongest fight in the second slot but fell 8-3 as the visitors headed into singles play trailing 3-0.

All matches were played indoors and to eight-game pro sets following the storm yesterday. A pair of Raiders lost 8-3 decisions while top singles competitor senior Brandon Davis was doubled up, 8-4.

Bustani added, "Today's format didn't give us any time or room for error. We had to come out at the top of our game right away but we struggled to do that. Moving forward we need to really work on coming out strong right off the bat."
