MORAGA, Calif. - Saint Mary's took a break from conference action this week and hosted Grand Canyon Saturday afternoon. The Gaels took the doubles point thanks to Iman Khan/Olivia Rook and Stefanie Silva/Juliette Daries as they both won their matches comfortably, 6-3 6-2. 

The Lopes would respond though with three singles victories, eventually knotting the match at three with Stefanie Silva as the last remaining singles match of the day. Silva went up against Grand Canyon's Angelina Mihajlovic and after dropping the first set 7-5, Silva bounced back with back-to-back set victories, winning 6-4 6-3 to secure the fourth and final point for Saint Mary's. 

Silva helped end a four-match losing streak and gave the Gaels their sixth dual match win of the season. Madison Weekley and Olivia Rook won the other two singles matches on the day as Weekley also came back down a set to win her sixth dual of the season. Rook improved to 9-4 on the year while Silva won her ninth match of the season and leads the team with a 9-1 record.
