LAST TIME OUT

Saint Mary's Women's Tennis came up just short of keeping their four-match winning streak going as the Loyola Marymount Lions won 4-1 against SMC at the LMU Tennis Center.

 

The Lions took the doubles point but Jocelyn Massey won the first match to finish in the singles competition when she took out Isabella Tcherkes-Za 6-2, 6-0 and things were all even. But the Lions would win the next three matches to clinch the match and secure the win.

 

That was followed by a competition against Pepperdine the next day, the No. 5 Pepperdine Waves won 6-1 over the Gaels on Saturday afternoon, but the dual match still had a major highlight for SMC as No. 49 Mariia Kozyreva took down No. 9 Shiori Fukuda at the Ralphs-Straus Tennis Center.

 

Kozyreva won 6-4, 3-6, 1-0 (10-4) in taking the final set in the tiebreaker in the final match of the day to finish. Jocelyn Masseyalso had an epic, three-set battle against No. 82 Savannah Broadus coming up just short in a 4-6, 6-1, 1-0 (10-6) score.

 

ABOUT PACIFIC

The Pacific Tigers have fallen short in all three of their WCC competitions so far this season. Taking a step back, the Pacific's Women's Tennis seem to thrive in singles with their winning overall record of 39-29, with four different individual Tigers with their own winning overall records. Pacific hopes to flip their season around, starting with the Gaels this upcoming Saturday.
