Academy of Art versus Stanislaus State Final Results

SAN FRANCISCO – There was an air of nostalgia in the air on Sunday as women's tennis lined up for the final time at the San Francisco Tennis Club this season. It was a bittersweet moment as it was also a day of celebration for senior Michelle Dandik Zaale's final home match as an Urban Knight. After an emotional pre-match ceremony in which Dandik Zaale was presented with gifts, hugs, and tears of happiness, the Urban Knights knew it was time to take care of business against Stanislaus State.
 
In doubles, ART U dropped just three games as a collective. Twin freshmen Alma Thell-Lenntorp and Klara Thell-Lenntorp handed the Warriors an 8-0 defeat in first singles. Meanwhile, Dandik Zaale and freshman Paula Alcantara (8-1) and freshman Taisiia Andrieieva and sophomore Gabriela Rivas (8-2) defeated their opponents in the second and third positions respectively.
 
Moving into singles, the Urban Knights were perfect again, winning in all six categories to complete the 9-0 sweep. Neither Alma nor junior Annika Schneider dropped a game to their opposition, winning their matches 6-0, 6-0. Dandik Zaale only permitted one game, completing her match by a final of 6-0, 6-1.
 
Now with three sweeps under their belts, ART U will spend the next week preparing for the PacWest Conference Championship Tournament April 13-16 in Surprise, Ariz.
