Colorado

TEMPE, Ariz. – What a weekend at the Whiteman Tennis Center!

Sun Devil Women’s Tennis polished off the weekend with a clutch win over No. 26 UCLA, 4-2, for their first victory over the Bruins since 2017. It was their third top-30 home victory for ASU this season, and second in as many days after topping No. 29 USC Friday, improving to 13-0 this season at Whiteman Tennis Center. 

This is the Sun Devils’ 18th straight home win of the season in a streak that dates back to March 5, 2022.

Holding a 3-2 lead with two matches remaining, Sedona Gallagher put the Bruins away for good with a three-set victory over Elise Wagle on Court 5. Gallagher was swarmed by teammates and doused with water, a fitting celebration to the one-two punch the Sun Devils handed to a pair of tough conference opponents this weekend. 

In singles play, Domenika Turkovic picked up her 11th win of the season, taking down No. 122 Ava Catanzarite in a 6-2, 6-0 victory. Marianna Argyrokastriti picked up the second singles win in a 6-1, 6-2 win over Sasha Vagramov. Rachel Hanford added on another win for the Sun Devils, winning 6-3, 6-2. The Bruins won the next two singles matches to make the match 3-2, but the Sun Devils clinched the match on Gallagher’s heroics. 

Argyrokastriti continues to be rock-solid for the Sun Devils, as Saturday’s win was her team-high 17th of the season.
