SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Senior Molly Reed won both her singles and doubles match but the Cal Poly women's tennis team fell at home to Long Beach State Friday 6-1.

The No. 2 duo of senior Abby Bacharach and freshman MacKenzie Worsnop played tough but lost 7-6 (3). The doubles point came down to court two and in another closely contested match, freshman Grace Olyphant and junior Caroline Williams forced a tiebreaker but fell 7-6 (3) to have 49ers (8-6, 3-1) take the doubles point.
In singles, Reed got the win at the No. 3 spot after she defeated Maren Helgo in a back-and-forth contest 7-5, 5-7, 10-7. Reed is now 6-3 in singles competition this year, the best record on the team.
Worsnop put up a tough fight at the No. 1 spot, losing in two close sets 7-6 (8), 6-4 to Lena Pacholski. Also losing in three close sets was sophomore Claire Bouquet, who fell to Carlota Casasampere 2-6, 6-4, 11-9.
