Vilms successfully defended his 2000 title by knocking off his doubles partner 6-3, 6-3 in the final.

In the doubles draw, it was an all BYU final. Vilms and Lozano beat Jeff Harbach and Jeff Olsen in the final 8-2. Vilms and Lozano also won the doubles title in 200 0. Both BYU doubles teams advanced to the final by defeating doubles pairings from Utah. A BYU team also won the consolation doubles tournament.
