On the women's side, Kim Chikazawa took a point in each set off of BYU-Hawaii #1 Jing Jing Liu. The Swords fell in the other five singles matches as well, having to forfeit the fifth and sixth spots.
In doubles action, Chaminade proved tough, falling 8-5 in first doubles and 8-3 in second doubles.
BYU-Hawaii improves 2-0, both men and women, while Both Chaminade teams fall to 0-1 on the young season. Chaminade is back in action on Saturday at UH-Hilo. First serve is set for 10:00AM.
