SAN FRANCISCO -- The University of San Francisco women's tennis team faced Portland at the Olympic Club on Saturday afternoon. The Dons secured a 4-3 win over the Pilots and improved to 3-11 in the season.
The Dons started doubles with a dropped match from Anna Sokiran and Shanna Dos Santos, 1-6. Hanna Borjeson and Margarita Treyes brought the Dons back in with a 6-4 win, but the doubles point ultimately went to Portland after Emily Maxfield and Mya Bui fell 2-6.
Singles began with another dropped match from Sokiran (6-3, 6-2), but Bui and Borjeson put points on the board for their team with 6-1, 6-3 wins. The Dons fell behind after Maxfield finished both her sets 4-6, but Treyes tied up the score with 6-3, 7-5 match wins.
It all came down to Dos Santos, who brought her match into a tiebreaker set. After dropping her first set 6-7, Dos Santos came back in the second set, 6-1, and secured the win for her team with a 6-3 final set win.
COACHES CORNER
"We finally had the opportunity to play a full and healthy lineup today. I thought it was a hard fought match and we did a great job executing down the stretch. We also did well performing when the opportunity presented itself in the match. Even though we lost the doubles point, everyone put their heads down and worked hard to secure the match in singles play." — Peter Bartlett.
