Honolulu, Hawaii ----- Tamara Culibrk and Klara Milojkovic were winners in singles action as San Jose State University's three-match winning streak ended in a 4-2 loss to the University of Hawaii in a non-conference women's tennis contest.
Milojkovic was a straight-set winner, 6-1, 6-3 over Alzbeta Houbova of the Rainbow Wahine. Culbirk saved two match points en route to a 3-6, 7-6, 7-5 win over Petra Melounova. For Culibrk, the triumph was her first dual match singles win of the season playing #1 and kept the Spartan hopes alive trailing 3-2 with singles matches remaining for Miyo Kobayashi and Alba Pedrero Galindo.
Hawaii closed out the four-hour dual match when Maayan Sela defeated Kobyashi, 6-3, 6-7, 7-5, in one of four singles matches that went to a third set.
The Spartans fell behind, 1-0, after losing a doubles point for the first time in three matches. Culbirk and Milojkovic were ahead 5-3, but were unable to finish out the set since Savannah Sendar and Laura Malsert and Kobayashi and Pedrero Galindo lost their doubles matches, respectively, by identical 6-4 scores.
San Jose State is next in action Friday, April 5, hosting San Diego State, in a Mountain West women's tennis match. First serve in doubles is at noon.
