SAN FRANCISCO- USF pulls out a strong 4-3 performance against Saint Mary's to finish their last match at home of the regular season on a positive note.
 
USF completes their regular season home matches with and undefeated record of 7-0. The Dons overall record is 11-7 and 6-3 in the WCC.
 
After Genevieve McCloskey and Thyra Taune dominated their 6-0 win against Daniel Flores and Mary-Anne Jessup, Sofia Holmberg and Milica Hadzi-Tanovic missed the mark in a back-to-back match against Jamie Pawid and Kareena Manji, 7-6 (2).
 
With the Gaels claiming the first singles match at No. 5 singles providing Saint Mary's with a two-point lead, USF worked out the rest of their singles matches to take back the match.

The Gaels responded as they picked up No. 3 singles to tie once again tie the match, 3-3, against the Dons. It was up to Holmberg to clinch the match at No. 6 singles for USF.
 
Holmberg showed her determination after falling 5-7 to Emma Critser in the first set to push through and win the next two sets 6-3, 7-5, capping the huge 4-3 against Saint Mary's for the Green and Gold.
