Sonoma State 6, Cal State Stanislaus 3

ROHNERT PARK -- Behind a pair of doubles wins, including a hard-fought 9-8 (7-2) triumph by Lauren Ha and Sheena Johnson, and straight-set wins at No. 1, 4, 5 and 6 singles, the Sonoma State women's tennis team earned its third straight win, defeating host Cal State Stanislaus, 6-3, on Saturday afternoon at the CSUS Tennis Courts in Turlock.  The Seawolves improve to 8-5 this season while the Warriors fall to 1-5.

It took a tiebreaker to decide the winner at No. 2 doubles, but Ha and Johnson pulled out the victory over Jessica Stokes and Kelsey Chrisco as the Seawolves led 2-1 after doubles play -- Megan White and Lauren Shafer notched the other victory, 8-5.

Sara Celma, (6-4, 6-3), Johnson (6-1, 6-0), Ha (6-0, 6-2) and Shafer (6-1, 6-2) recorded convincing wins in straight sets to help the Seawolves earn the overall match win.  Chloe Jolliff came back after a loss in the first set to win the second set, but ultimately fell in the tiebreaker (3-6, 6-4, 10-6).

Sonoma State will take a day off before hosting Division I Southern Utah on Monday.  First serve from the SSU Tennis Courts is set for 1:00 p.m.
