In singles, Cal Poly battled but UCSB picked up wins at the No. 6 spot, followed by the No. 5 spot, and then the No. 4 spot the clinch the dual victory. With the regular season now in the books, the Mustangs will turn their attention to preparing for next weekend's Big West Tournament in San Diego. They will not know who they will face until Sunday's regular season matches are completed.
