SAN JOSE, Calif. — For the fourth time this season, the Cal Poly women's tennis team secured a 6-1 victory over its opponent, defeating San Francisco in a neutral-site match Saturday at the Spartan Tennis Complex.
The win allowed the Mustangs (4-1) to rebound from their first loss of the season, which they suffered Friday at San Jose State.
Cal Poly jumped out to a 1-0 advantage over the Dons (2-4) by securing the doubles point for the fourth time this season. At the No. 2 spot, graduate student and junior Romane Mosse improved to 4-0 as a pairing with a 6-1 victory. Then at No. 3, sophomores Kennedy Buntrock and Alexandra Ozerets clinched the doubles point with a 6-3 win to move to 2-1 on the season.
The Mustangs continued their dominance in singles as Ozerets, Mosse and junior Eliza Bates all rolled to victories in straight sets to secure the dual win for the Mustangs. Bates was the first to finish, dismantling her opponent at No. 6 6-3, 6-1 to earn her first singles win of the season. Ozerets grabbed a 6-2, 6-3 victory at No. 4 to improve to 5-0 on the season and 20-6 in her career in dual singles matches.
Mosse clinched the dual for Cal Poly with a 6-2, 6-4 win at No. 5.
With the Mustangs leading 4-0 and the dual already clinched, the final three singles matches at No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 utilized 10-point tiebreakers in the third set. Fifth-year Delanie Dunkle captured a 7-6 (7-0), 2-6, 1-0 (10-4) win at No. 1, and junior Peyton Dunkle emerged victorious in a thrilling match at No. 2 6-2, 6-7 (5-7), 1-0 (11-9). Peyton, No. 2 all-time in Division I program history in winning percentage in dual singles matches, improved to 5-0 on the year and 30-11 in her career.
Buntrock came up just short in her match at No. 3 to suffer her first loss of the season.
As a team, Cal Poly is 23-7 overall in dual singles matches this season.
The Mustangs will remain on the road and head to Arizona next weekend for matches against Grand Canyon on Feb. 17 and No. 24 Arizona State on Feb. 18.
