SAN DIEGO - The No. 73 San Diego State women's tennis team earned a hard-fought victory over No. 73 CSUN, 5-2, on Tuesday afternoon at Aztec Tennis Center. SDSU (10-9, 1-1 MW) has now won four of its last five dual matches, and improved to 6-6 at home.
The Aztecs began the day by coming from behind to win the doubles point. San Diego State's No. 3 duo of Dora Somoracz (Budapest, Hungary) and freshman Paola Diaz de Regules (Mexico City, Mexico) dropped its match to Criss Rodriguez and Jessica Warren, 6-1, but the No. 2 team of junior Tami Nguyen (Muntinlupa City, Philippines) and senior Hailey Johnson (Fallbrook, Calif.) tied it up with its win over Vivian Lin and Kiryang Kim, 6-3.
With the doubles point on the line, SDSU's No. 1 unit of senior Kristin Buth (Kaiserslautern, Germany) and junior Isabelle Hoorn (Soest, Netherlands) knocked off Mickey Hsu and Kristen Poei, 6-4, to clinch the point.
The Aztecs maintained their momentum in singles action, as sophomore Kennedy Davis (San Jose, Calif.) defeated Kim, 6-1, 6-2, on the No. 3 court, while Diaz de Regules earned a straight-sets victory against Poei, 6-3, 6-1, in No. 5 singles.
CSUN (12-4, 3-2 Big West) rallied to get back into the match, as Somoracz fell short on the No. 6 court against Warren, 6-1, 6-4, and Johnson lost a hard-fought No. 4 singles match to Rodriguez, 7-5, 6-4.
However, Nguyen clinched the dual-match victory by coming from behind to top Hsu on the No. 2 court, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4, while Buth took down Lin in three sets on the No. 1 court, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.
San Diego State returns to action on Friday, April 10, when the Aztecs play host to Mountain West foe UNLV beginning at 2 p.m. PT at Aztec Tennis Center.
