San Diego Women's Tennis Shut Out 4-0 to SDSU

Toreros fall to SDSU in crosstown matchup

SAN DIEGO — The University of San Diego women's tennis team made its shortest road trip of the season heading 10 miles east to San Diego State. However, USD could not quite come out in front against the Aztecs, losing 4-0. 

The Toreros (5-8, 0-0 WCC) did not have momentum early, losing the doubles session to SDSU (7-4, 0-0 Mountain West). Claudia de las Heras and Gabby Gregg were shut out 6-0. In addition, Kristina Nordikyan and Brionna Nguyen also succumbed, losing 6-1.    

Then in singles, USD was down a player, meaning the Toreros had to win at least four of the five matches to have any chances. However, that would not be the case as No. 43 USD lost to No. 55 SDSU. 

TORERO TIDBITS 
  • This was USD's first loss against SDSU since 2015 after eight consecutive victories. 
  • It is also San Diego's first three-game losing streak of the season. 
UP NEXT
USD has about a week to prepare for its next matchup when the Toreros travel to northern California to face UC Berkeley on March 13 in the final non-conference match before West Conference play begins on March 21.
