LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Following a rainy opening weekend that delayed the start of their season, the USF Dons women's tennis team was in action in Southern California this weekend competing at the 2023 Long Beach State Invite this weekend. 

The Dons received great contributions up and down the roster as they competed against Pacific, Denver and Long Beach State across the days of competition. Opening up the weekend on Friday, four of the five Dons' doubles pairings picked up wins against teams from Long Beach State and UOP. 

Maria Martinez Vaquero led the way for USF competing at the top of the Dons' lineup winning five of the six matches she competed in combined between singles and doubles this weekend. Rita Colyer also dominated for the Dons in Long Beach this weekend by going a perfect 6-0 in all the matches she competed in this weekend at the Long Beach State Invite.
