SAN FRANCISCO 2016-2017 – Despite a valiant effort and battle to tie the match at 2 a piece, the San Francisco women's tennis team closed out the year with a 4-2 loss to BYU on Saturday afternoon at The Olympic Club. "We put it all out there, but couldn't play well enough for the win," reflected USF Head Coach Hilary Somers. "Emily played great at No. 3, and she competed well the entire match. Gen seemed so nervous today on Senior Day and had a tough time playing her best."
