NORTHRIDGE, Calif.—CSUN won its third in a row, and its sixth in its last seven tries as the Matadors defeated Boston University 4-3 Monday afternoon in women's tennis action at the Matador Tennis Complex.

Emma Moratalla Sanz returned the lead to the Matadors when she defeated Emily Zhao 6-4, 6-3 at No. 5. The Matadors clinched the overall victory at No. 6 when Tallia Harper won 6-3, 6-3 versus Navya Vadlamudi. Yaloz and Coetzee went to three sets to conclude the day at No. 1. Yaloz won the first set 6-1 before Coetzee tied the match 6-4 in the second. Finally, Yaloz returned with the victory 6-3 in the third.
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH GARY VICTOR
"Boston University is an excellent team; they win their conference almost yearly. They showed how good of a team they are. They were tough in doubles, and we could pull out a few close ones at two and three and even at one. With Angela not being whole, she and Jolene played great, so I am proud of their effort and how they didn't lose focus."
PLAYER REACTION
" I feel like Yuliia, and I's communication was good, and we were in sync the whole time," said Turchak. "That gave us confidence, and we knew when they got close, we could pull through, so we just had to stay focused, communicate, and stick with our strategy."

CSUN (6-2) hosts Youngstown State (2-6) on Thursday. The first serve is 2 p.m.
