The seventh-ranked doubles combination of seniors Lucia Sainz and Katharina Winterhalter continue to blow their opponents away, winning 8-2 Friday against Castello and Walker. At No. 1 singles, Melanie Gloria set the tone, defeating Liz Walker in straight sets. The Bulldogs won every singles match in two sets.
