WTEN | Saint Mary's Wins Fourth Straight over Bulldogs

MORAGA, Calif. — Saint Mary's (6-3) won their fourth straight match on Sunday and sixth of their past seven as they took down Fresno State 4-2 to sweep the weekend.

The Gaels took the doubles point beginning with Jordan Harris and Chloe Goyette breezing to a 6-1 win on court 2. SMC's No. 1 doubles tandem of Mariia Kozyreva and Danielle McIntyre then defeated Azram/Lawson in 6-3 fashion to secure the doubles point.

Lene Mari Hovda and Liesl Pieters were up 4-3 in their match before it was called.

Hovda got the ball rolling in singles action with a straight set win, 6-1, 7-5 on court 3. McIntyre also posted a straight set victory as the No. 5 seed 6-2, 7-5 but the Bulldogs responded with two wins of their own to pull the match score to 3-2 in favor of the Gaels.

Kozyreva secured the match by defeating Shir Azran on court 1 in a three-set battle, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. It was the second time the Gaels' junior had clinched the match for Saint Mary's in the week after she also earned the fourth point versus Oregon.
