The freshman combination of Gabriella Weissmann (Simi Valley, Calif.) and Sarah Lucas (Las Vegas, Nev.) was key to the sixth victory in a row for the Seattle University women's tennis team, as they won in both singles and doubles to help the Redhawks defeat Portland State, 5-2, Friday afternoon at Club Green Meadows.

Weissmann and Lucas earned the doubles victory over Nayanatara Vadali and Marina Todd, 8-2, while Ariel Ohno (Kent, Wash.) and Anna Lambert (Spokane, Wash.) defeated Marti Pellicano and Masha Los by the same score to give the doubles point to Seattle U. The Redhawks nearly swept the doubles sets, but Katrina Schwab (Spokane, Wash.) and Corinne Wurden (Poulsbo, Wash.) lost in a tiebreaker to Yuki Sugiyama and Anya Dalkin, 8-7 (8-6).

Weissmann was able to pull out a first-set tiebreaker over Vadali before cruising in the second set to earn the straight-set victory (7-6 (8-6), 6-0). In the number five singles position, Lucas eased past Todd in straight sets (6-2, 6-1). Schwab continued her singles winning streak with a straight-set victory over Dalkin (6-4, 7-5), and Wurden defeated Los in the number six singles position, also in straight sets (6-1, 6-1).
