Cal’s Tiziana-Marie Schomburg won a three-setter in the last match of the Cal Winter Invitational.


BERKELEY – The California women’s tennis team swept all four of its singles matches and won three times in doubles Sunday as the Cal Winter Invitational came to a close.
 
The Golden Bears got straight-set wins from freshmen Mille Johanna Moerk and Laura Cilekova before sophomore Anya Murthy defeated Cal Poly’s Candela Aparisi 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 and junior Tiziana-Marie Schomburg bested Kennedy Buntrock 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the last two matches of the day at the Hellman Tennis Complex. Earlier at Hellman, the 80th-ranked Cilekova and junior Mao Mushika posted a 7-6(2) result over the Mustangs’ Aparisi and Natalie Lynch as the Bears won three of four doubles matches.
 
The annual Cal Winter Invitational serves as a tuneup for the start of the dual-match season, which begins in Cal’s next contest – the ITA Kickoff Weekend hosted by Texas. The 15th-ranked Bears take on No. 25 Baylor on Saturday in Austin, Texas, with the winner of that match advancing to play either the 12th-ranked Longhorns or Arizona next Sunday for the right to advance to the ITA National Team Indoor Championship in February.
