Carl Albert traveled to Heritage Hall on Thursday for a dual. The Titans battled the Chargers but came up empty in a 4-0 loss.
McLaughlin beat Owen Fellrath in the first set but lost in a tiebreaker (3-6, 6-3, 10-6). Shaw lost to Larsen Van Horn (6-2, 6-1) in 2 singles. Fouquette and Reese lost at No. 1 doubles (6-2, 6-3). Farley and Ben Sutterfield fell at No. 2 doubles by the same score.
