Westwood, Calif. -- The eighth-ranked UCLA women's tennis team registered its second victory of the season over No. 7 USC Saturday, downing the Women of Troy 6-3 at UCLA's Los Angeles Tennis Center.
Back on March 1, the then-No. 14 Bruins picked up a close 5-4 road victory of the No. 7 Women of Troy.
UCLA won four of six singles matches Saturday, needing only one doubles victory to take the dual match. UCLA ended up clinching the match on the No. 2 doubles court, where Elizabeth Schmidt and Abigail Spears beat USC's Veronika Safarova/Anita Loyola 8-4.
By far the biggest win of the day for UCLA came at No. 2 singles, where 76th-ranked Annica Cooper breezed past eighth-ranked Jewel Peterson 6-2, 6-3.
Joining Cooper with singles victories for UCLA Saturday were Spears, Schmidt and Petya Marinova.
The Bruins return to action on Friday, April 7, when they host No. 1 Stanford at the Los Angeles Tennis Center beginning at 1:30 p.m. UCLA hosts Cal on Saturday, April 8 beginning at Noon.
