LA MIRADA, CA – Fresh off receiving the program's first NCAA Division II national ranking to date, No. 44 Menlo Women's Tennis was dominant once again on Friday, handling UH Hilo to the tune of a 5-2 victory in neutral territory at Biola Tennis Center. Freshman Gloria Jovic shined as the capping win in singles play to give the Oaks their fourth consecutive triumph.

Oaks Led By Singles Depth
Though the doubles point oscillated with junior Polya Nikolova and Jovic winning 6-1 on Court 2 only to have the Vulcans counter on Court 3, it became up to juniors Zofia Dziewiecka and Livia Harper to secure the early advantage. The duo proceeded to pick up their fourth consecutive win by way of a 7-5 result over Mila Srebo and Marie Cordonnier.

In singles play, that Oaks margin grew with sophomore Ombeline Robilliart prevailing 6-0, 6-1 on Court 6 and Dziewiecka, ranked No. 70 nationally, adding her own 6-2, 6-1 victory on Court 1 against Johanna Roggenkamp. The clinching win also came in straight sets as senior Yousra Hidass was strong in the second set, besting Anna Takahashi 6-4, 6-0 on Court 2. Jovic then outlasted Pia Starnecker 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 on Court 4 to finish off the 5-2 result favoring Menlo.
