SAN DIEGO – Joel Gamerov provided the clinching point as No. 27 San Diego earned a convincing 5-0 victory against Santa Clara on Sunday afternoon at the Hogan Tennis Center.
 
The Toreros (15-4, 5-1 WCC) have won nine of their past 10 matches and the victory against the Broncos (12-6, 3-3 WCC) was USD's fifth sweep of the season.
 
"We did a great job today bouncing back after a tough road loss last Saturday at BYU," said head coach Ryan Keckley. "We spent a lot of time sharpening our skillsets in doubles this week and it showed in today's 5-0 win. Santa Clara is known for their fight and competitiveness. I thought we captured the momentum early and never looked back."
 
The Toreros got off to a strong start in doubles play as Nico Borter and Gui Osorio defeated Andrew Gu and Robert Seby, 6-1, at the No. 1 position. The duo improved to 8-4 when playing at the No. 1 position this season.
 
Noah Dufort and David Norfeldt clinched the doubles point by defeating Connor Garnett and Kamran Khan, 6-3, at No. 3.
 
Norfeldt doubled the Toreros lead with a quick 6-1, 6-2, victory against Arthur Neuhaus at No. 5. It was Norfeldt's second consecutive singles victory and he improved to 3-0 in WCC play.
 
Osorio, ranked No. 64 nationally, followed with a decisive 6-1, 6-1, win at No. 1 against Gu to put USD up, 3-0. Osorio has won a team-best nine consecutive matches and is 6-0 in WCC play this season.
 
Gamerov clinched the match with a 6-2, 6-4, win at No. 3 against Vasileios Iliopoulos, 6-2, 6-4. It is his second straight win and he improved to 4-2 when playing in the No. 3 spot.

August Holmgren finished his match and won 6-3, 6-2, at No. 2.
 
The Toreros will look to continue their momentum next weekend when they play a pair of road matches at Loyola Marymount and at Pepperdine.
 
"We look forward to spending next weekend up in LA competing against two very good WCC teams," said Keckley.
