TUCSON, Ariz. — Cal Poly women's tennis started the 2023 spring season off in winning fashion, rolling past Grand Canyon 4-1 Saturday at Arizona's LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.

In singles, the Antelopes evened things up at 1-1 as Melissa LaMette fell to GCU's Dania Deaifi, 6-2, 6-0. But the Mustangs answered with three victories in straight sets.
Buntrock earned Cal Poly's first singles win of the season at the No. 5 spot, cruising 6-0, 6-3. Then fellow freshman Alexandra Ozerets gave Cal Poly a 3-1 advantage at the No. 6 spot, winning her match 6-2, 6-3.
With a season-opening victory within sight, Delanie Dunkle stepped up and closed the deal. She took down Madeline Lamoreaux 7-5, 7-5 in a hard-fought match at the No. 4 spot to clinch the dual victory for the Mustangs.
