Freshman Jennifer Timotin led the team with one singles win at the one spot against Saint Mary's and two doubles wins at the one spot with different partners over duos from Saint Mary's and Cal Poly. The Dublin, Ireland, native held her own against No. 35 Olivia Hauger of Cal in singles, taking the first set before falling in three.
