SAN FRANCISCO -- The University of San Francisco women's tennis team opened its spring season with a win over the Dominican Penguins on Friday, Jan. 19, dominating 7-0 at the Olympic Club.

"It was a great start to our season," said head coach Peter Bartlett. "The team was able to test some of their current skill and nerves in competitively play. We had a strong showing in our debut against a good Dominican team and will use this match to continue to get better."

The match began with solid doubles from the Dons. Emily Maxfield and Mya Bui dominated their Dominican matchup 6-0. This set the tone for the rest of the doubles as Anna Sokiran and Margarita Treyes (6-3), and Shanna Dos Santos and Amber Del Rosario (6-4) took down their opponents as well.

USF continued in singles play, sweeping the field with wins across the court. Bui (6-0, 6-0) did not allow her opponent to win a set in both matches and the rest of her team had strong performances as well. Maxfield started with a 6-3, 6-0 win over her opponent followed by a 6-2, 6-3 victory for Sokiran. Alisha Sharma and Treyes put up solid 6-3, 6-1 matches and Rosario topped off the day with a 6-2, 6-1 win.
