Lions Close Regular Season with Sweep, Schnack Serves Up Double Bagel

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The LMU women's tennis team closed out the regular season in dominant fashion on Saturday morning, defeating Saint Mary's, 4-0, at the LMU Tennis Courts in the final West Coast Conference match of the year.

The Lions secured the early advantage by claiming the doubles point with wins on courts two and three. Kim-Michaela Zahraj and Helene Schnack evened things up with a 6-3 victory at the No. 2 position after Saint Mary's took court one, before Lidia Gonzalez and Camilia Samel-Druz clinched the point with a 6-4 win on court three.

In singles, LMU built its lead in quick, decisive fashion, starting from the lower half of the lineup. Helene Schnack set the tone early, becoming the first player off the court with a statement performance at No. 5. Schnack delivered a flawless 6-0, 6-0 victory - serving up a pair of bagels in a dominant showing that gave the Lions immediate momentum.

Ada Piestrzynska followed with a strong 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 2 to push the lead to 3-0, before Camilia Samel-Druz sealed the match with another commanding effort, earning a 6-1, 6-1 victory at No. 6 to clinch the sweep.

Matches on the remaining courts went unfinished, with several Lions holding competitive positions as play was halted following the clinch.

With the win, LMU caps its regular-season WCC slate on a high note, showcasing depth and control across the lineup heading into the West Coast Conference Championship play next.
