The 85th-ranked tandem of freshman Andre Goransson and senior Ben McLachlan secured the point with an 8-5 victory over Ben Tasevac/Devin Lane on two. The court-three match featuring freshman Filip Bergevi and sophomore Mads Engsted battling the Utes' Matt Cowley/Alejandro Medinilla was abandoned, with the Bears leading 6-3.

Senior Campbell Johnson collected the first singles win, beating Tasevac, 6-3, 6-1, on court two to give Cal a 2-0 overall lead.
