History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n HONOLULU \u2014 In a tightly contested Senior Night battle that came down to the final courts, the University of Hawai\u02bbi women’s tennis team (5-8, 2-4 Big West) fell just short in a 4-3 decision against UC Davis on Saturday at the UH Tennis Complex.<\/p>\n With the traditional format reversed, the teams opened the day with singles play. UC Davis jumped to a 2-0 lead behind straight-set wins from Polina Marakihtaneva and Mika Ikemori at the top of the lineup.<\/p>\n However, Hawai\u02bbi fought back. Allaire Berl<\/a> outlasted Alleena Hu in two grueling tiebreak sets, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5), and Hannah Galindo<\/a> added a second point for the Rainbow Wahine with a three-set win on Court 3. The Aggies kept pace on Court 6, where Penelope Wong edged senior Isabella Pampulov<\/a> in a three-set thriller. Sophie Rachor<\/a> displayed grit at the No. 4 spot, rallying from a set down to defeat Maya Youssef 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, to leave the overall match tied at 3-3 heading into doubles.<\/p>\n With the outcome resting on the doubles results, the energy shifted to the pair competitions. The senior duo of Berl and Pampulov gave Hawai\u02bbi an early advantage with a dominant 6-1 win at the No. 3 position.<\/p>\n But UC Davis answered back. Marakihtaneva and Ikemori took the No. 1 spot 6-4, leaving the dual match to be decided on Court 2. In a back-and-forth battle, the Aggie duo of Hu and Kaia Wolfe eventually broke through for a 7-5 win over Galindo and Makeilah Nepomuceno<\/a>, clinching the 4-3 victory for UC Davis.<\/p>\n The Rainbow Wahine honored three seniors, Sophie Rachor<\/a>, Allaire Berl<\/a>, and Isabella Pampulov<\/a> after the match.<\/p>\n Hawai\u02bbi will look to bounce back quickly as they continue Big West play at home. The Rainbow Wahine face UC Riverside on Monday, April 13, at the UH Tennis Complex with first serve scheduled for 10 a.m.<\/p>\n Hawai’i 3, UC Davis 4 Singles Competition Doubles Competition Match Notes
