NORTHRIDGE, Calif.—CSUN edged UC Davis 4-3 in Big West women's tennis action Saturday afternoon at the Matadors Tennis Complex.
Sasha Turchak and Yuliia Zhytelna's 6-3 victory at No. 2 doubles against Lauren Ko and Olive Manupau put the Matadors up 1-0. The Aggies tied at No. 1 doubles when Yana Gurevich and Arianna Stavropoulos defeated Jolene Coetzee and Angela Ho 7-5. UC Davis took the lead at No. 3 doubles when Michelle Zell and Carly Schwartzberg defeated Vitoria Solis Urdiales and Cindy Ung 7-6 (7-5).
Zhytelna tied the dual when she handed Zell a 6-2, 6-0 defeat at No. 3 singles. She has won a team-high 12 singles matches (12-3). Then, Emma Moratalla Sanz won 6-4, 6-1 at No. 5 against Kristina Evloeva to put CSUN into the lead.
Stavropoulos tied the dual as she took a straight sets victory (6-1, 6-2) versus Turchak in the No. 2 slot. Ho won her fifth consecutive singles match to improve to 11-2 on the year when she went past Maunupau 6-0, 7-5.
At No. 6, Tallia Harper fell behind early on as she dropped the first set 1-6 and was beginning a comeback down 2-3 until her opponent, Schwartzberg, had to retire due to injury, clinching the dual in favor of the Matadors. Gurevich and Coetzee went to a super tiebreaker in their No. 1 singles match before Gurevich won 10-3 to make it the final 4-3.
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH GARY VICTOR
"Playing UC Davis and playing coach Bill Maze and his assistant Sara Jackson, it is such a pleasure and a privilege to play a program that is completely about integrity, honesty, and at the end of the day, it was just about tennis."
PLAYER REACTION
"Everyone on this team is super close and super supportive. So, when you finish, you support your team; it means a lot to the other players and me."
