Women’s Tennis Defeats Montana State, 5-2

PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland women's tennis defeated the Montana State Bobcats by a 5-2 margin on Sunday at the Louisiana-Pacific Tennis Center. The Pilots have now won four consecutive matches and improve to 5-5, while the Bobcats fall to 4-9 on the season.

Portland's No. 1 doubles team of Alaia Rubio Perez and Maria Galatescu earned a 6-1 victory, but Montana State won 6-2 at No. 2 and held on in a tiebreaker at No. 3 to claim the doubles point.

The Pilots were then dominant in singles action. Rubio Perez set the tone with a 6-0, 6-3 defeat of Anna Wise at the top of the lineup. Nadine Arbaizar Martinez was then a 6-3, 6-1 winner against Angel Bean at the No. 3 spot and Dariya Radulova closed out the first wave of singles with a 6-1, 5-7, 6-0 win over Nia Gelashvili.

Galatescu provided the match-clinching point with a 6-3, 6-4 win against Terezie Stverakova at No. 4. The Bobcats picked up their second point at No. 5 singles before Meagan Pearson closed out the scoring for the Pilots with a straight sets win against Kavya Khirwar at No. 6.
