Highlanders Edge Titans in Women's Tennis
April 9, 2003 – Fullerton, Calif.

Visiting UC Riverside rebounded from a poor showing in doubles to win four of six in singles play to edge Cal State Fullerton, 4-3, in a Big West Conference women's tennis match on Wednesday afternoon at the Titan Tennis Courts in Fullerton, Calif.

Cal State Fullerton fell to 4-18 overall and 0-7 in the Big West and has lost its last eight consecutive matches.

The Titans took the doubles point, winning at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles by large margins. However, it was singles play where the Highlanders would stage their comeback.

UCR posted victories at the Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 5 positions to clinch the match. Each singles match was decided in straight sets with Fullerton's Ioana Sisoe and Caroline Freeman posting the Titans' only victories on the day.
