USC Women's Tennis Beats Arizona State 4-3
March 09, 2019 | Women's Tennis
The USC women's tennis team had a hard fought battle in Tempe, Ariz. today (March 9) and defeated the Arizona State Sun Devils 4-3. The Trojans improved their record to 10-2 overall and 2-0 in Pac-12 conference play.
Â
The Trojans claimed the first win of the day as Weissmann/Willson swiftly defeated ASU's Kolarova/Slaysman 6-0 on court two. The Sun Devil pair No. 6 John-Baptiste/Hattingh beat USC's No. 13 Kulikov/Valdes 6-2 on court one to tie up the score. Arizona State would have the final word in doubles as Alicea/Hampton beat USC's Branstine/Jaeger in a close match with a 7-6 (5) final score to claim the doubles point.
Â
USC entered singles at a 0-1 deficit and that fired up the Women of Troy to battle back. Trojan No. 84 Angela Kulikov did just that when she beat ASU's Tereza Kolarova 6-1, 6-0 on court three to even out the overall score at 1-1.
Â
On court six, USC's No. 118 Danielle Willson defeated Sun Devil Samantha Alicea 6-3, 6-2. This win extends Willson's winning streak to 11 victories, and she remains undefeated in dual matches (10-0).
Â
Arizona State responded with a win of their own as Lauryn John-Baptiste beat USC's Rianna Valdes 6-2, 6-2 on court two. Up next, Sun Devil Savannah Slayman beat Trojan Becca Weissmann 4-6, 6-1, 7-5 on court five to push ASU ahead 3-2.
Â
On court one, USC's No. 45 Salma Ewing beat ASU's Ilze Hattingh 5-7, 6-3, 7-5 to keep the Trojans in the match.
Â
All eyes moved to court four where the outcome would decide the winner of the match. After losing the first set 5-7, USC's No. 120 Ana Neffa came back to beat ASU's Sammi Hampton 7-6 (8), 6-4 in the final two sets to clinch the match for the Women of Troy.
Â
Next weekend, USC travels to Indian Wells, Calif. to take on Baylor in the BNP Paribas Open Collegiate Tennis Challenge on Saturday (March 16).Â
