SAN FRANCISCO –– The USF women's tennis team earned its first win of 2016, beating George Washington 5-2 on Wednesday at the Olympic Club.

With a chance to pick up the doubles point, Hanna Börjeson and Genevieve McCloskey took down Sara Grubac and Victoria Kogan, 6-2. With the win, the Dons clinched doubles play and moved ahead 1-0 in the match.
