Matadors Push Past Hawai'i Pacific 4-3
2/23/2011 1:56:00 PM | Women's Tennis
The Sea Warriors proved a difficult foe in singles for the Matadors. CSUN dropped three of the six contests, including the No. 1 and No. 3 draw. Sirojiddinova's match proved the tipping point, as the junior took a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 victory.
Jennifer Sher improved her singles record to 5-2 with a straight-set win at the second draw. Lorraine Cheung was the other Matador to post a singles point, winning in straight sets in her sixth-seeded match.
However, stellar doubles play would lead the Matadors to the victory. Sher and Brooke Doane, ranked No. 78 in the nation, posted an 8-0 victory at the top draw. Maria Pistalu and Sabrina Man-Son-Hing then secured the point with an 8-4 victory in the No. 3 match.
The Matadors remain in Honolulu for their next three contests, starting with a match against Hawai'i on Feb. 23. They will also face No. 60 San Diego State on Feb. 25 and BYU-Hawai'i on Feb. 26.
Upon their return from the tropics, CSUN will host nine-straight home matches at Matador Tennis Complex. The first is a meeting with Georgetown on Mar. 6.
