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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
The Lopes will be back in action next weekend when they travel to San Diego State on March 7.
