March 6, 2023 | Women's Tennis
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. – The Boston University women's tennis team (7-3, 1-0 PL) dropped a tough 4-3 decision to CSUN on Monday. In the loss, the Terriers grabbed the point on three singles courts.
Â
The Matadors (6-2) swept the doubles point, but not without a fight from BU. The Terriers won a combined 11 games to keep the doubles point closely contested before it went to CSUN.
Â
In singles, junior Kaitlin Tan was first to win on Court 4. She did so in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1, to give BU its first point of the match. Sophomore Michelle Kleynerman won her match at the No. 2 spot shortly thereafter in a 6-1, 6-2 decision.Â
Â
BU led 2-1 before CSUN could climb back and earn wins in the Nos. 3, 5 and 6 spots to seal the victory. At the top of the lineup, grad student Shelly Yaloz won her first set 6-1 but dropped the second set 6-4. She found her groove again to emerge with the win after taking the final set 6-3.
Â
The Terriers will be back in action on Tuesday when they continue their trip to California at Cal State Fullerton. The match is set to start at 4:30 p.m. ET.
