Women’s Tennis Falls in Road Test at #9 USC

LOS ANGELES– In another tough road test taking on No. 9 USC, Sun Devil Women’s Tennis was outdone by the Trojans, 4-0, on Saturday afternoon at the David X. Marks Tennis Stadium.

The Sun Devils came up short in doubles as the Trojans picked up wins on Courts 2 and 3. The duo of Chelsea Fontenel and Patricija Spaka were tied 3-3 with the No.11-ranked doubles team in the country of Eryn Cayentano and Emma Charney, 3-3, before doubles play concluded.

In singles play, four Sun Devils were bested in the first singles set, creating a tricky path for a potential top-10 upset. Emilija Tverijonaite and Patricija Spaka earned wins in their first sets, 6-4 and 6-1, respectively. Rachel Hanford’s match extended into a third set as well, but ultimately it was not enough to piece together a comeback.
