San Jose, Calif.----- For the first time since 1986, the San Jose State University women's tennis team is 4-0 in dual match action. The Spartans remained unbeaten after defeating the University of San Francisco, 4-1, in a non-conference match at the Spartan Tennis Complex.
Freshmen Alba Pedrero Galindo and Klara Milojkovic combined to win at #3-doubles over the USF tandem of Rita Colyer and Shanna Dos Santos to clinch the doubles point for the Spartans and then went on separately to capture a singles victory. Milojkovic's 6-3, 6-4 win over Amber Del Rosario at #6-singles was the clinching triumph in the match.
"We got off to a good start in doubles and kept it going (in singles)," said San Jose State University women's tennis head coach Chad Skorupka, whose team navigated the windy and cool conditions at the Spartan Tennis Complex.
"One of our goals this year is to win more doubles points. USF came into our match, 5-2, and they are going to win a lot of matches this spring."
Savannah Sendar picked up San Jose State's other singles win with a 6-1, 7-5 decision over Margarita Treyes at #4-singles.
The Spartans head to Santa Barbara for weekend dual matches against #25-ranked Washington on Saturday, February 23, and host UC Santa Barbara, Sunday, February 24.
