The Trailblazers promoted the doubles team of Hawkes and Tass and singles players Nathan Stachowski and Cordell Powless during a match with Missouri Baptist on April 5, but to no avail. MoBap brought an additional player and thwarted L&C's attempt at a better outcome, winning 7-2.

Kirk Tass put on quite a show at #6 singles, beating his opponent 6-0, 6-0 using his speed and big forehand. Cordell Powless did well at the #4 position, surviving a late push from his opponent to hang on and win 7-5 in the second set. At exhibition singles, Zack Funk continued his progress coming back from injury-forced absence winning 6-3, 6-4 over the same player who had played #6 for Missouri Baptist in the prior week.
