What Just Happened
The Bulldogs won two big matches two weeks ago with victories against 20th-ranked William and Mary and 37th-ranked New Mexico. On Mar. 8, the `Dogs beat William and Mary by winning the doubles point and three singles matches. Despite freshman Melanie Gloria's loss at the No. 1 spot in the lineup, seniors Lucia Sainz and Katharina Winterhalter came through for Fresno State. Freshman Magdalena Tokarska came up with the clinching victory at the No. 5 spot, defeating Klaudyna Kasztelaniec in three sets after having lost the first set. Fresno State's Mar. 11 match with Penn was canceled due to rain. But the following day, Mar. 12, produced good weather while Fresno State pulled out a 5-2 win over New Mexico. The Bulldogs lost the doubles point, but bounced right back in singles, winning five of the six matches - all in two sets. Winterhalter provided the clinching win at the No. 2 spot, beating Iva Gersic 6-2, 6-1.
Looking Ahead
The Bulldogs host six matches in the month of April, including two double-headers, one on April 6 and the other on April 15.
