FULLERTON, Calif. -- - The women's tennis team won its second match in as many days, edging Cal State Fullerton in tennis action on Saturday, 4-3.
"We had a very productive week with the wins and losses," Head Coach Randy Rowley said. "We certainly learned a lot about ourselves. Everybody stepped up and performed well. We also found out that no matter who is in the lineup, everybody plays hard."

The Lady Eagles broke back to win at No. 1 doubles, when Sherry Price and Brittany Serret defeated Gina Le and Mai-Ly Tran (CSF), 8-6. The Titans earned the points with a hard-fought 9-7 win at No. 3 doubles behind the play of Katrina Domela and Jerusha Cruz (CSF) against Ali Blackett and Grace Kammerer.
Southern Miss (11-2) tied the match at 1-1, after Gutterman won at No. 4 singles against Injejikian, 6-0, 6-1. Dellocono then added a point for the Lady Eagles with her win at No. 3 singles, 6-4, 6-1, over Domela.
