The doubles point ultimately went to UNLV.

Despite the Rainbow Warriors’ efforts, UNLV ultimately clinched the match, with Anton Ornberg defeating UH’s Quinn Snyder.
The match was notable for marking the return to UH’s lineup for Guillaume Tattevin. Despite the loss, the team is looking ahead and will play a doubleheader on Saturday, facing New Mexico State in the morning and UC Riverside in the afternoon.
The overall outcome was a 4-1 victory for UNLV, leaving Hawai’i with a 0-3 record for the season so far. The team’s lone senior, Guillaume Tattevin, is ready for the upcoming challenges as the team gears up for future matches.
