“I’m really happy with the win today and the way the girls performed in both doubles and singles,” said Head Coach Nicolas Vinel. “I thought it was a very complete performance. Now, we’re going to take a couple of days for recovery, and then get back to practice and keep working on things we can do better. The girls played really well, so we’re going to keep building on that for the next two matches coming up.”
Next up, San Diego State will host Loyola Marymount at the Aztec Tennis Center on Feb. 13, beginning at 11 a.m., followed by a 11 a.m. matchup against Hawaii on Feb. 16.
