UCSanDiego Women’s Tennis
Match 1
UC San Diego (0-0) vs. Sonoma State (1-0) Friday, Feb. 12 2 p.m.
RAIN ALTERS OPENING WEEK OF PLAY
The UC San Diego women’s tennis team was set to begin its 2010 season with matches against Pomona Pitzer and Cal St. Northridge last week but Mother Nature had different plans. The Tritons put together a doubles sweep on Friday in a home match with the Sagehens of Pomona Pitzer but the two squads couldn’t get through the singles portion becuase of a steady rain. UCSD had planned a road trip the next day to CSUN and also this Tuesday to Cal St. San Bernardino but inclement weather forced those two matches to be rescheduled for April 24 and March 3, respectively.
TRITONS JUMP RIGHT INTO CCAA ACTION
The UCSD women’s tennis program finished the 2009 regular season with its 59th-straight victory over a California Collegiate Athletic Association opponent as the squad completed its sixth-consecutive undefeated season in conference play. The Tritons will look to continue its defense of those streaks as they begin CCAA play Friday against Sonoma State.
PRESEASON D-II RANKINGS RELEASED
The Tritons have been ranked No. 19 in the D-II ITA preseason rankings. Varnay, after posting a 6-10 singles record and 12-4 doubles record in 2009, is positioned at No. 45 in the individual singles poll.
SCOUTING THE SEAWOLVES OF SSU
Despite a delayed start, the No. 44 Seawolves managed to play their season opener last week and went on to defeat Academy of Art 8-1. Other than Stephanie Luk losing at the No. 1 position, SSU swept the rest of the singles matchups.
