POMONA, Calif. ? The UC
San Diego women's tennis team rolled to its 42nd-straight California Collegiate
Athletic Association match, rolling to a 9-0 victory over Cal Poly Pomona on
Saturday afternoon at the Kellogg Tennis Courts on the CPP campus.
With the win the Tritons
improve to 3-2 overall and 2-0 in league play while the Broncos fall to 1-2

have against the Tritons in women's tennis play.

3-0 lead after the doubles portion of the match, winning at the No. 1 and No. 3
spots by identical 9-7 scores. Kimmi Dao and Valerie Tang combined for an 8-6
win at the No. 2 spot on the doubles ladder over Kara Fisher and Fallon
Blattner.
In singles play, UCSD won
five of the six matches in straight-sets, the lone exception came at No. 2
where Dalya Perelman dropped her first set by a 6-1 margin before winning the
next two sets by 6-1 and 10-1 scores.
Head coach Liz LaPlante's
squad will return to action tomorrow morning, hosting Division I opponent, the University of Hawaii, at 10:30 a.m. The match will be
played at the Northview Tennis Courts on the UCSD campus.
