THREE MATCHES LEFT BEFORE PLAYOFFS

The No. 15 UC San Diego women’s tennis team, after securing its seventh-straight conference title with a win this past Saturday, has three regular season matches remaining in 2010 before the NCAA postseason gets underway. The Tritons will travel to play Azusa Pacific on Wednesday at 2 p.m. before challenging Cal State Northridge on Saturday and San Diego State on Monday to wrap up the regular season. The top four teams in the region advance to the NCAA Division II postseason, which begins May 8. The selection show to disclose the tournament field will be televised April 28 at 4 p.m. on NCAA.com.

UCSD CAPTURES CCAA CROWN SATURDAY

The Tritons captured their seventh-straight conference title Saturday, knocking off No. 19 Cal State Stanislaus by a 6-3 score. In a matchup of 8-1 teams vying for the league crown, the Tritons earned a doubles sweep in the first portion of the match and then split the six singles contests. “Obviously, being healthy and having all of our players in the lineup like we had today is what we’ve been waiting for,” UCSD head coach Liz LaPlante said. “Yesterday we talked about rising to the occasion but also enjoying the moment. We made it happen today, playing our best doubles of the year in the most important match.” UCSD improved to 13-6 on the season, closing the California Collegiate Athletic Association slate with a 9-1 mark. CSUS finished league action with an 8-2 record. The clinching point for the Tritons came from a singles win by junior Natalie Varnay, who defeated Vanesa Reibstein at the No. 2 spot, 6-4, 6-1. With Senior Day Saturday honoring the achievements of Anita Athavale, Valerie Tang and Pooja Desai, Athavale picked up the most convincing singles win of the day, a 6-1, 6-0 defeat at the No. 5 position over Heather Cotter.

SCOUTING THE COUGARS OF APU

The Cougars, currently ranked fifth in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), hold an overall record of 12-7 while going 8-7 in the Golden State Athletic Conference. APU and UCSD last met on Feb. 2, 2008, when the Tritons secured a 5-4 victory.

SCOUTING THE MATADORS OF CSUN

Cal State Northridge stands at 11-7 overall this season, including a 4-4 mark within the Division I’s Big West Conference. The Matadors and Tritons last met on Feb. 13, when CSUN secured a 7-0 sweep of the visiting UCSD squad.

SCOUTING THE AZTECS OF SDSU

San Diego State, ranked 75th nationally at the Division I level, holds a 12-10 record this season. The Aztecs are 4-4 in the Mountain West Conference, with the league tournament starting up in Las Vegas on April 28.
