Infantino picks up singles win at No. 4 in loss
The Grand Canyon women's tennis team wrapped up a busy four-day stretch with a 6-1 home loss to Cal Poly on Sunday.
After playing two matches on Thursday and Friday in Hawaii, the Lopes (2-8) had to head straight back to Phoenix to face the Mustangs at the GCU Tennis Facility.
For the second straight match, freshman Natasha Puehse and sophomore Jana Weiss competed at No. 1 and won their match 6-3. The Mustangs (8-2) still won the doubles point with a 6-2 victory over senior Emilia Occhipinti and junior Martina Lo Pumo at No. 2 and a 6-0 win over juniors Autum Prudhomme and Ludovica Infantino at No. 3.
In singles, GCU saw Infantino move up to No. 4 and pick up a convincing 6-3, 6-3 win. Prudhomme, at No. 6, forced a third set in her match by taking the second set 6-3 after dropping the first set 4-6. She lost the third-set tiebreaker in a tightly contested 12-10 game.
Cal Poly took care of the rest of the match, winning the remaining four singles matches in straight sets. The dual-match win was clinched at No. 5 by Cal Poly's Melissa LaMette, winning 6-2, 6-3.
The Lopes will be back in action next weekend when they travel to San Diego State on March 7.
