Lions Bring the Fire: LMU Battles Past Portland in Gritty 6-1 Victory

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The LMU women's tennis team delivered a spirited and feisty performance on Saturday morning, earning a convincing 6-1 victory over Portland at the LMU Tennis Center.

The Lions grabbed early momentum by securing the doubles point with wins on courts one and three. Anastasia Bozova and Ada Piestrzynska picked up a 6-4 win at the No. 1 position, while Lidia Gonzalez and Camilia Samel-Druz cruised to a 6-1 victory on court three. The match at No. 2 doubles between Kim-Michaela Zahraj and Helene Schnack and Portland's pair was left unfinished as LMU took the 1-0 lead heading into singles play.

In singles, the Lions continued to apply pressure, winning five of six matches behind a dominant showing throughout the lineup. Zahraj set the tone with a 6-2, 6-4 win at No. 3 singles, followed by Bozova's commanding 6-1, 6-3 victory at the No. 4 spot. Schnack and Samel-Druz mirrored each other with nearly identical performances, each earning 6-1, 6-1 wins at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively.

At No. 2 singles, Piestrzynska battled through one of the match's most competitive contests. After splitting the first two sets, she stayed composed in a tightly contested tiebreak to secure a 6-4, 1-6, 10-5 victory and clinch the overall win for LMU.

Portland's lone point came at the No. 1 position, where Alaia Rubio Perez edged Gonzalez in a hard-fought three-set battle. Despite that result, the Lions controlled the remainder of the match, showcasing depth, resilience, and intensity from top to bottom.
