Trojans deliver a dominant performance against Nittany Lions.
LOS ANGELES - No. 12 USC women's tennis delivered a dominant performance at home on Saturday, sweeping Penn State 4-0 at Marks Tennis Stadium behind a strong showing in doubles and three straight-set singles victories.
The Trojans quickly seized momentum in doubles play. USC's pairing of Immi Haddad and Emma Charney set the tone with a decisive 6-1 win over Brianna Baldi and Maria Daciana Ciubotaru on court three. Lily Fairclough and Krisha Mahendran then clinched the doubles point with a 6-3 victory against Olivia Dorner and Maelie Monfils on court one, giving USC the early 1-0 lead. Penn State's pair of Patricia Grigoras and Maiko Echijima held a narrow 5-4 advantage over Dani Borruel and Eugenia Zozaya on court two when the point was secured.
USC carried that momentum into singles, where the Trojans quickly stacked points to close out the match.
No. 98 Eugenia Zozaya delivered the first singles win of the day with a commanding 6-0, 6-1 victory over Maiko Uchijima on court two to double the USC lead. Soon after, No. 38 Jana Hossam followed with a 6-2, 6-4 win against Maelie Monfils on court one, pushing the Trojans within one point of the clinch.
No. 39 ranked Emma Charney sealed the sweep on court three, defeating Patricia Grigoras 6-4, 6-2 to secure the 4-0 USC victory.
Several other matches were left unfinished as the Trojans clinched the contest. Krisha Mahendran was tied 5-5 in the second set after taking the first 6-0 against Brianna Baldi on court four, while Dani Borruel led 6-2, 4-3 against Dorner on court five. On court six, Simone Kay had rebounded from a first-set loss and led 6-1 in the second set against Ciubotaru when play was halted.
With the win, USC improves to 10-4 overall and 3-0 in conference play, with the Trojans set to battle No. 2 Ohio State tomorrow at 12 p.m. PT.
