SACRAMENTO, Calif. — For the second time in the last three seasons, the Sacramento State women’s tennis team has claimed the Big Sky Conference regular season title, defeating visiting Portland State by a 5-2 score on Saturday afternoon and sending the seniors out with a win on “Senior Day.”<\/p>\n
Since winning their first in 2004, the Hornets have claimed at least a share of the league’s regular season crown 11 times and will go for their third consecutive Big Sky Tournament title \u2014 and their 14th overall \u2014 as the top seeded team at next week’s conference championships in Phoenix, Ariz. Saturday marked the first outright regular season championship for Sacramento State since the Hornets finished 8-0 in 2012.<\/p>\n
With the win on Saturday, Sacramento State enters the postseason on a roll, winning its fifth consecutive dual to close out the year while improving to 17-5 overall and 7-1 in league play. The victory also pushed the Hornets to 9-0 at home this season and extended the program’s home winning streak to 18 consecutive triumphs dating back to last year.<\/p>\n
For the 10th consecutive dual, Sacramento State got out to a 1-0 lead in the match with a doubles point win. Cami Maldonado Gutierrez<\/a> and Reese Walker<\/a> earned a 6-2 win at No. 3 before Lou Baudouin<\/a> and Emilija Pranyte<\/a> outlasted their Viking counterparts for a 7-5 win at the No. 2 spot.<\/p>\n Walker made it a 2-0 lead with a win at No. 1 singles, defeating Scarlett Perkins by a 6-0 score in the first set before Portland State’s top player was forced to retire.<\/p>\n Irene Riva<\/a> defeated Nene Uemura at the No. 3 spot, 6-1, 6-3, and Pranyte (6-4, 7-6) and Palina Saulevich<\/a> (6-3, 6-2) posted victories at No. 5 and No. 6 to wrap up the title.<\/p>\n As the top seed, the Hornets earn a bye into the semifinal round along with second-seeded Northern Arizona on day two of the conference tournament, which begins on Thursday (April 23) with the No. 3 seed taking on the No. 6 seed and the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds squaring off in the first round.<\/p>\n NCAA WOMEN’S TENNIS DOUBLES Order of finish: 3, 1, 2*<\/p>\n SINGLES Order of finish: 1, 3, 2, 6*, 5, 4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
