IRVINE, Calif. --- UCI women's tennis finished off an impressive 9-0 homestand and 8-0 month of March with a 4-0 defeat of the Sacramento State Hornets (7-9) Monday afternoon at Anteater Tennis Stadium.
UC Irvine (16-3, 5-0) continued its doubles dominance with a come-from-behind victory for the point. Kristina Smith and Franziska Goettsching overcame a 6-5 deficit to win 9-7 and grab another Anteater doubles point.
In singles, Goettsching continued to impress scoring her third straight win to put UCI up 2-0. Smith fought hard for the third point while Sarah Stadfelt edged out Marivick Mamiit for the clinching point for the 'Eaters.
UCI's 8-0 also rounds out its non-conference schedule and nine-match homestand. The Anteaters will be back on the court on Saturday, April 6th as Big West play returns in the form of a trip to Cal State Northridge for an 11:00 a.m. match.
