SAN DIEGO – USD Women's Tennis hosted the fifth annual San Diego Veterans Tennis Classic and dominated it's first three hidden dual matchups, dropping just two total points over the weekend.
Four Toreros were in action for the four-team women's tournament, two of which, sophomore
Anni Puls and freshman
Maria Shmakova went undefeated in singles play.
San Diego was also an undefeated 6-0 in doubles play on the weekend, as Puls and Shmakova teamed up, as did junior
Kristina Nordikyan and freshman
Vilma Krebs-Hyllested.
USD kicked off the event Friday, topping co-hosts Navy 4-1 behind just three total games dropped between the two doubles matches.
On Saturday, the Toreros swept Fresno State 5-0. Pulls and Shmakova put up a bagel in doubles before all four players won in straight sets in singles, three of which had bagels in one set.
San Diego continued the winning ways into Sunday, grinding out a 5-1 result over WCC foe LMU. It was a gritty affair as three total sets went to tiebreakers and two of the singles matches went to third set super tiebreaks, both of which USD's representatives won.

The Toreros next take to the courts for competition from Oct. 16-21 as they host the ITA Southwest Regional Championships, in town in America's Finest City.
