SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — The Cal Poly women's tennis team kept its stellar play at home going until the very end, beating visiting UC San Diego 4-1 Saturday at Mustang Tennis Complex in its final home match of the season.

The Tritons then won at the No. 3 spot in close fashion 7-5 to take the doubles point.
In singles, redshirt sophomore Emily Ackerman started things off in dominating fashion in straight sets without losing a game over Rachel Wagner 6-0, 6-0. Ackerman is still unbeaten in singles this season at 11-0.
