IRVINE, Calif. --- The Anteaters continue to patrol the top of the Big West with a 5-2 victory over Cal State Northridge Saturday at Anteater Tennis Stadium.

Doubles rolled with 8-4 wins from the duos of Ali Facey/Franziska Goettsching and Sarah Gong/Brooke Schweyer to claim a doubles sweep.

A switch in singles worked out as well with Marivick Mamiit earning a much-overdue win at No. 2, 6-3, 6-1, to clinch the match for UCI (6-5, 4-0).

The win keeps UCI undefeated in conference play and puts them back in the positives overall with a 6-5 record. UCI continues its home stretch with its first of five straight non-conference home matches on Wednesday, March 12, as it welcomes Furman in for a 1:30 p.m. match.
