CATCHING UP WITH COACH BARTLETT:
"Today was a rescheduled match down at their place and we were able to win the match through a clinch format. We lost the doubles point but rebounded and played some very good singles action in some tough conditions with wind and cold today. Caragh Courtney at number three clinched the match with her victory and Chiho Mushika gave us some momentum with the first singles victory of the day for our team. Next up for us is UOP and Saint Mary's after a great match against a good opponent with three straight road wins."
 
UP NEXT:
The Dons are back in action this Friday as they will return to West Coast Conference play against the Pacific Tigers (5-3) on March 24 at 11:00 a.m. from the Goldman Tennis Center in Golden Gate Park.
