Women’s tennis: UCI prevails
UC Irvine defeated host UC Santa Barbara, 6-1, in a Big West
Conference women’s tennis match Sunday.
The Anteaters (3-3, 2-0 in conference) set the course from the
beginning, sweeping all three doubles matches.
UCI’s Jonni Seymour snapped Uzma Khan’s three-match winning streak
with a 6-4, 6-3 win at No. 1 singles.
“It was very close in the first set,” UCI Coach Mike Edles said.
“Seymour was down a service break. She picked up her game and Kahn just
couldn’t stay with her. She started picking up all her shots, the pace of
her shots.”
Seymour improved to 4-2. Also picking up victories in singles were
Tiffany Chang, Anna Bentzer, Hui Leow and Kristina Boss. The Gauchos fall
to 1-3, 0-2.
