Knights Contend With Penguins, But DUC Takes 5-2 Win

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. – Starting the day with a competitive setting on the doubles courts, Academy of Art women's tennis battled hard against the Penguins, but momentum for Dominican was enough to put them over the top with a 5-2 final.

While DUC (13-2) took the first doubles match on Court 3 as senior Paulina Alvarez was back in the line up, sophomore Amelija Supulniece and sophomore Estelle Najean had it all squared up after their win against Gina Dudley and Sofia Acuna on Court 1 with a close 6-4 result. With all eyes on Court 2, the Penguins would sneak out the win on the middle court to take the doubles point, clinching the 1-0 lead with a 6-4 triumph.

Taking a quick 2-0 lead after ART U (5-8) left Court 6 empty in singles, DUC saw their lead fall back to just one as Supulniece took down Audrey Rafols with a 6-2, 6-0 score. Back-to-back wins on Courts 5 & 2 would clinch the day for the Penguins, as Stefani Georgieva racked up another point for the squad after taking down Maria Gavrilov 6-3. 3-6, 6-2 on Court 3.

ART U will close out the regular season back at home, hosting Stanislaus State for the Knights' Senior Day event on Friday, Apr. 11 with a 10 a.m. start.
