Caltech women’s tennis notched its first-ever win over a nationally ranked opponent in a 7-2 victory over No. 40 California Lutheran University on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n

The Beavers swept all six singles matches to rally from a 1-2 deficit after doubles and record the decisive victory over the Regals, which were picked one spot ahead of Caltech in the SCIAC Preseason Coaches Poll. Caltech improves to 4-2 overall and is one of just three undefeated teams in SCIAC play at 2-0 alongside No. 5 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and No. 6 Pomona-Pitzer Colleges, with both losses coming to nationally ranked opponents.<\/p>\n

The hosts fell into early holes at all three doubles courts, but began to fight back at the top court and finally locked up a point with an 8-5 win. A tight battle at #2 went CLU’s way, 8-6, to give the visitors a 2-1 edge heading into singles.<\/p>\n

After some brief back-and-forth play at all but #3 singles, the Beavers took control with first set victories on the bottom five courts. That proved to be the breaking point against CLU as freshman Angelica Zhou (Temple City, Calif. \/ Arcadia) tied the match at 2-2 with a 6-1, 6-1 win at #3 and the Beavers promptly received another two with retirements at #5 and #2. Almost an hour later, rookie Alexandra Bodrova (Russia \/ Kurchatovskaya School) clinched the match with a 6-4, 6-4 victory at #4 over CLU’s #2 player all last season. Sophomore Kana Moriyama (Redmond, Wash. \/ Redmond) and senior Sophia Chen (Newport Beach, Calif. \/ Corona Del Mar) soon closed out their matches at #1 and #6, respectively, to end the match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
