The Highlanders got things going by winning the doubles point, taking two of three matches. Austin Andres and Felix Macherez won 8-4 at No. 1, and Simon Peters and Jimmy Roberts partnered up to win 8-3 at No. 3.
In singles action, UC Riverside won at the top three flights, but dropped matches at Nos. 4-6.

Two of UCR's losses in the bottom flight were close, as Luis Gastao lost in the third set, and Peters dropped his in a tiebreakter.
