Bonnet de Larbogne secured the only singles victory for LC State with a decisive 6-2, 6-0 win in the No. 2 slot. Coach Kai Fong remarked on the challenge the team faced throughout the season, noting, “We just came up a little short. Stanton has a solid team and held up under pressure just enough to beat us.
