Women's Tennis Downs Saint Mary's 5-2

Los Angeles, Calif., - Wednesday, April 11, 2001 - The Loyola Marymount women's tennis team extended its winning streak to four matches and won its first West Coast Conference match with a 5-2 victory over Saint Mary's College Wednesday afternoon at the LMU Tennis Courts. The Lions improved their record to 10-7 overall, 1-1 in WCC action and are currently enjoying their longest win streak of the year.

The Lions started the day out with wins at the No. 3 doubles spot and the No. 6 singles spot due to a Gaels' injury which caused SMC to default both spots. Despite needing only to win one doubles set for the two-of-three doubles point LMU recorded a sweep winning at the No.1 and No. 2 spots. The Lions' duo of Angelina Zdorovytska and Andrea Lord posted their ninth victory together defeating the Gaels' team of Karen Holland and Valerie Verrier 8-2 at the No. 1 spot. Penka Fileva and Holli Freudenberg finished off the doubles sweep for LMU with an 8-1 win over SMC's Heather Snow and Annie Wolford.

With a 1-0 lead after the doubles competition the Lions sped through singles play winning the No. 2 , 3 and singles spots in straight sets. Lord defeated Wolford 6-1, 6-1 at No. 2, Zdorovytska downed Snow at No. 3 6-0, 7-5 and Freudenberg was victorious over Cata Fillol 6-1, 6-0.

SMC recorded its two wins during singles competition. Holland defeated LMU's Fileva 6-3, 7-5 in the top singles spot while Verrier need three sets to down LMU' Milica Cukulic (7-6, 2-6, 7-6).

The Lions continue WCC play when they host Pepperdine next Tuesday, April 17 at 1:30 p.m. at the LMU Tennis Courts.
