LOS ANGELES \u2013 The fifth-ranked UCLA women’s tennis team rolled to a 6-1 victory against No. 8 USC in the teams’ non-conference finale at Los Angeles Tennis Center. UCLA clinched the win at 4-0 before the match was played out.<\/p>\n
The Bruins (6-2), who extended their winning streak to four matches, secured the doubles point and never looked back. Olivia Center<\/a> and Mayu Crossley<\/a> each won twice. Bianca Fernandez<\/a> and Anne-Christine Lutkemeyer<\/a> beat ranked singles players. The Trojans (7-4) were put on the scoreboard by Eugenia Zozaya.<\/p>\n Crossley and fellow freshmen Kayla Chung<\/a> teamed to defeat Emma Charney\/Immi Haddad 6-2 on the third doubles court. UCLA held leads in the other two contests, but it would be the 62nd-ranked pair of Center and Kate Fakih<\/a> turning in the clincher. The sophomores bested Lily Fairclough\/Jana Hossam on Court 1. Center\/Fakih has locked up two doubles points this season and 10 overall.<\/p>\n Four Bruins collected singles first sets and three of those matches would end in straight sets. Leading off was No. 49 Crossley, who took down Haddad with a 6-2, 6-4 display that pushed the Tokyo native’s team-high winning streak to five matches. Fernandez then posted her second ranked victory in as many tries, topping No. 39 Charney 6-4, 6-3 on Court 4.<\/p>\n Lutkemeyer logged her best ranked win of the year in clinching fashion, taking down No. 32 Hossam by a 6-3, 7-6(4) score on the top court. Lutkemeyer is now 4-0 opposite ranked players on the year and has 20 career ranked singles victories.<\/p>\n With the result decided, No. 89 Zozaya beat No. 122 Fakih 6-4, 7-5 on Court 3. That would be it for the USC’s scoring, though, as Ahmani Guichard<\/a> and Center finished off their three-set triumphs for UCLA. Guichard outlasted Krisha Mahendran 6-3, 1-6, 6-1 on Court 5, while Center overcame Dani Borruel 4-6, 6-3, 1-0(7) on Court 6.<\/p>\n The Bruins next hit the road to open Big Ten Conference play. They open up Friday, March 6 (3 p.m. PT) at Nielsen Tennis Stadium in Madison, Wis., where they face Wisconsin. First serve is scheduled for 3 p.m. PT. The Bruins wrap up the trip two days later at Minnesota.<\/p>\n Tennis Match Results #5 UCLA 6, #8 USC 1<\/p>\n Singles competition Doubles competition Match Notes:
