Women of Troy Fall 4-2 to UCLA
April 20, 2019 | Women's Tennis, Features
On a rare cloudy day in Los Angeles, the No. 15 ranked USC women's tennis team fell 4-2 to crosstown rival UCLA at Marks Stadium. With the loss, USC is now 17-6 overall and 7-3 in Pac-12 Conference play.
Â
The morning began with doubles, and USC's No. 4 Kulikov/Valdes took an early 3-0 lead over UCLA's #12 Bolton/Hart on court one. On court two, the No. 8 Bruin pair of #8 Andrews/Broomfield claimed a quick 6-1 victory over USC's Weissmann/Willson on court two.
Â
Back on court one, UCLA's Bolton/Hart fought back to push ahead and win the match 6-3 to collect the doubles point. Almost immediately after, the No. 49 Bruin duo of Altick/Miller finished their match by defeating USC's No. 90 ranked pair of Branstine/Jaeger 6-2 to make it a UCLA sweep of doubles.
Â
In singles, UCLA's No. 24 ranked Elysia Bolton claimed a fast 6-1, 6-2 win over USC's Ana Neffa on court two.
Â
The Trojans weren't out yet as No. 113 Angela Kulikov put the first point on the board for the Women of Troy with a 6-4, 6-1 win over UCLA's Ayan Broomfield on court three.
Â
After winning her first set 6-4 on court four, USC's Rianna Valdes was down 0-3 in her second set to UCLA's Alaina Miller. In true Trojan form, Valdes fought back to win the second set 7-6 (5) to win her match and tie up the overall score at 2-2.
Â
The Bruins responded back with another win as UCLA's Gabby Andrews tallied a 7-5, 6-4 win on court six over USC's Constance Branstine.
Â
USC's Danielle Willson lost a close first set 7-6 (4) to UCLA's Abi Altick, however the two were neck and neck in the second set. After being down 5-6, Willson evened out the score at 6-6 to keep the Trojans alive and force a tiebreak. After a hard-fought battle, Willson fell 7-6 (4) to Altick who clinched the match for the Bruins.
Â
USC now turns their eyes to the Pac-12 Championships in Ojai, Calif. which begins on Wednesday (April 24) and concludes on Saturday (April 27).Â
