The Bulldogs dropped their first match of the season Saturday to Western Michigan in a 7-0 fashion. The loss means Butler exits their weekend road trip to Kalamazoo with a 1-1 record after beating UIC yesterday. 
 
Butler's Borja Miralles and Michael Karr came close to winning their doubles set but fell 7-5. Zach Trimpe impressed for the Bulldog's in the singles matches despite falling in two sets. This Broncos team returned many of their key pieces from last year's NCAA regional team. 
 
Up next for the Bulldogs is a cross town trip to IUPUI on Monday, Jan. 16.
