PASADENA, Calif. --- Biola nearly was able to snap a six-match losing-streak, but fell by one, 5-4, to Cal Tech on Friday afternoon in Pasadena.

The Eagles fall to 1-6 on the season.

Biola won two of the three doubles matches to open up a quick lead in the match. Tyler Jung and Joel Huibregtse combined for an 8-5 win at No. 1s, while Justin Mart and Greg Cox took care of business at No. 2s with an 8-4 victory.

However, it was Cal Tech taking advantage in the singles matches, winning four of the six. Jung had little trouble at No. 1s with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Justin Lazear and Nicholas Lazar held off Eric Tai 7-5, 6-3 at No. 5s.
