Long Beach State won four of six singles matches to grab the win over the Matadors.
LONG BEACH, Calif. – Long Beach State slipped behind after dropping a close doubles point against CSUN, but rallied for four singles victories to pick up an early conference win against CSUN, 4-3.
CSUN (2-4, 0-2 Big West) started the day by edging Long Beach State (2-2, 1-1 Big West) in doubles. Angela Ho and Yuliia Zhytelna of CSUN won the top flight 7-5 over Cecilia Costa and Johanna Hiesmair. The Beach quickly bounced back with a 7-5 win of their own, as Daisy Carpenter and Paulina Franco defeated Elena Goodman and Emma Moratalla Sanz to even things up. The deciding match went to a tiebreaker, and CSUN took the doubles point with a 7-6 win in the second flight.
Ho, playing threes for CSUN gave the Matadors a second point with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Thea Jagare. Long Beach State came roaring back with a 6-3, 0-6, 6-2 win from Daria Malaescu over Nicole West, followed by a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 win by Costa over Santibanez.
Playing in the top flight, Diana De Simone then defeated Zhytelna 7-6, 6-4 to push the Beach in front of the Matadors, setting up the final two matches.
Freshman Pamela Badillo then delivered Long Beach State the win, bouncing back from a tiebreaker loss in the first set to clinch the win for the Beach, 6-7, 6-4, 6-1 against Moratalla Sanz at the fives.
