No. 23 Lions defeat Pilots, 4-0

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The No. 23-ranked Loyola Marymount Lions beat the Portland Pilots by a 4-0 margin in a West Coast Conference women's tennis dual match Friday at the Louisiana Pacific Tennis Center. The Lions improve to 13-2 overall and 3-1 in WCC play, while the Pilots fall to 6-10 and 1-4 in league.

LMU grabbed the early lead with comfortable wins at the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles position. Portland's No. 2 tandem of Iva Zelic and Angela Schuster were leading 4-3 when the point was clinched.

The Lions took the top three singles matches in straight sets to complete the sweep. Wikotria Rutkowska held off Neli Sunjic 7-5, 6-0 at No. 3 and Eva Marie Voracek defeated Sally Pethybridge 6-4, 6-3 at No. 2.

In a battle on nationally-ranked players at the top of the lineup, No. 88 Veronika Miroshnichenko snapped No. 108 Iva Zelic's 12-match win streak with a 6-2 ,7-5 decision.

The bottom three singles all completed one set before the match was concluded.
