The Pirates won their third straight match overall to even their record at 3-3.  The Loggers, also playing their conference opener, fell to 0-6.

The match was quickly decided as Whitworth won a pair of singles matches in quick fashion.  First Olivia Paige rolled past Perez 6-1, 6-1 at #2 singles, then Budge closed out a 6-0, 6-1 win over Chatham at #3, giving the Pirates an insurmountable 5-0 lead.

Smylie defeated Yamada 7-6, 3-6, 1-0 (10-7) at the top of the ladder in the only contest to go more than one set.

Whitworth will take on Bellevue College in an exhibition contest on Saturday to close out the road trip.
