Final Stats

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The No. 69 Toreros women's tennis team (6-5, 3-1 WCC) dropped a 5-1 decision to the Brigham Young University Cougars (4-9, 2-1 WCC) on Saturday in Provo, Utah.

Colomba DiFilippo extended her dual match win streak to four with her team-leading eighth point of the season. In the No. 6 spot the Torero junior dropped BYU's Taylah Beckman 6-1, 7-5. Unfortunately the Cougars managed to clinch the match with their next point.

In doubles DiFilippo and Shani Blecher lost their first doubles match 6-3 to Beckman and Natella Nabieva. In the two spot Marta Stojanovic and Maria-Paula Torres fell short 6-4 to Cougars' duo Savannah Ware and Nicolette Poulsen. Dana Oppinger and Drew Spinosa were locked in a tight match before play was stopped.

BYU controlled much of the singles play with only one match reaching a third set. Torres pushed Nabieva in the No. 4 spot but the USD freshman fell in three sets 6-3, 1-6, 6-0.

The Toreros will travel to Spokane, Wash. next Friday to face conference rival Gonzaga (10-1, 0-0 WCC) at 1 p.m. USD is 7-1 all-time against the Bulldogs including a 4-3 victory last year.
