Box Score

ATHERTON, CA – Though weather delayed the start of Friday's Senior Day matchup with Stanton, Menlo Women's Tennis was still able to honor the careers of seniors Yousra Hidass and Carlotta Stern as well as Graduate Assistant Coach Franziska Niederle out at Cartan Tennis Courts ahead of a tough 4-2 win for the Elks that could not be fully completed due to the rain's return.

Oaks' Initial Advantage Does Not Hold
Playing out all three doubles matches regardless of result, the Oaks triumphed in all three as juniors Nia Macay and Polya Nikolova opened by besting Emilse Ruiz and Emili Maljawskij 6-3 on Court 3, the first-time tandem freshman Gloria Jovic and junior Zofia Dziewiecka put away Waraporn Muangpho and Polina Burenina 7-5 on Court 2, then Hidass and junior Livia Harper matched that 7-5 score in their victory versus Paula Rodriguez and Cheyenne Houkes on Court 1.

Menlo's lead became 2-0 when freshman Tumi Kgosiemang made quick work of Muangpho 6-0, 6-1 on Court 5, but Elk victories on the last four singles courts to finish shifted the match's momentum. Jovic and Rodriguez were not able to finish their three-set battle on Court 2 due to more rainfall, but it was not before Stanton could clinch the win.

Up Next
With their final regular season matchup hosting Jessup now canceled due to more rain in the forecast this weekend, Menlo prepares to make its Pacific West Conference Championship Tournament debut on Apr. 15 in Surprise, AZ.
