February 4, 2017 (San Diego) - Aztec Women’s Tennis opened its home stand with a win Saturday against the Cal Poly Mustangs, 4-3. SDSU now heads into its Sunday matchup against No. 8 California with a 3-2 record.

With play beginning at noon, SDSU downed the Mustangs in doubles play, claiming the point after just two matches. First to finish off Cal Poly was the duo of Kennedy Davis and Paola Diaz, who brought down their opponents, Molly Reed and Abigail Bacharach, 6-3, in the No. 2 slot. First-seeded Jana Buth and Taylor Lederman also claimed a victory against Seriana Saltzen and Susanne Boyden, 6-4, giving SDSU the doubles point.

Moving into singles play, SDSU started strong when Diaz downed Saltzen, 6-2, 6-0, in the third seed. At the No. 1 spot, Buth matched her teammate’s success by claiming a win over Louise Oxnevad, 6-3, 6-1, and the Aztecs took a 3-0 lead. Cal Poly continued to battle, as No. 2 seed Boyden defeated Davis, 6-1, 6-2, and Celine Gruaz won her match against Alli Valk, 7-5, 6-0, in the sixth slot. With just one point needed to claim the dual, Mia Smith battled to overcome Bacharach, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, and solidify the Aztec victory. Though the match was already decided, Marina Colvee continued to battle Reed, but was unable to finish, falling 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(6).
