It was a difficult day for the Pirates as they dropped two of the three doubles matches to yield the doubles point. Yusen Sato and Victor Peyrebonne won in No. 3 doubles, 6-3, but it was not enough and the Beavers took a 1-0 lead heading to singles play.
The day did not get any easier for VC in the singles matches as Cotti-Helme was the only victor for the Pirates, claiming a 7-6, 6-3 decision on Court 6.
The Pirates next will resume Western State Conference play on Tuesday Feb. 24 hosting Bakersfield College.
