February 15, 2020 (San Diego) - San Diego State women’s tennis cruised past Cal State Fullerton Saturday with a 4-0 victory at Aztec Tennis Center.

The Aztecs’ doubles teams secured SDSU’s first point of the match, led by junior Tamara Arnold and freshman Julia Jordan topping Fullerton’s Acidera and Valenzuela 6-0. Sophomore Alicia Melosch and senior Mia Smith followed with a come-from-behind victory over the Titans’ Suh and Garcia, besting the duo 6-3 after starting the set off down 3-0.

In singles action, freshman Cècile Morin started off SDSU’s winning ways with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over CSUF’s Such. Junior Abbie Mulbarger recorded a 6-1, 6-0 drubbing of Valenzuela to put the Aztecs within one point of clinching the match. Melosch sealed the deal for the Azrecs with a 6-2, 6-1 over Suh.

THE NOTE

SDSU has won its last four meetings with Cal State Fullerton, but Saturday’s victory marked the Aztecs’ first sweep of the Titans since the 2011-12 season (7-0 victory Jan. 28, 2012).
