PULLMAN/SPOKANE, Wash. – The Fresno State women's tennis team picked up a 4-1 win over the Seattle U Redhawks on Friday night in Spokane, Wash. at the Stevens Tennis Center.
Fresno State (7-5) was led by Shir Azran, who won in straight sets at No. 1 singles over Seattle U's Hannah Gianan, in the neutral site contest. Deniza Marcinkevica, Georgia Lawson and Carlotta Nonnis Marzano also collected singles victories against the Redhawks.
The Pacific Northwest swing started on Thursday with a tough road competition against No. 35 Washington State, which the Bulldogs lost 5-0, and closed on Saturday with Fresno State falling 4-2 to Gonzaga.
