April 05, 2019 | Women's Tennis
LOS ANGELES โ On the eve of the UCLA women's tennis Senior Day, Gabby Andrews clinched the No. 8 Bruins' 4-0 defeat of No. 39 Utah Friday afternoon at Los Angeles Tennis Center.
Elysia Bolton and Ayan Broomfield also turned in singles wins for the Bruins (13-5, 5-1), who started the day with a commanding performance in doubles play. UCLA did not drop a set on the day. Utah dropped to 11-7 (2-4 in Pac-12 play) with the loss.
The tandem of Elysia Bolton and Jada Hart got the Bruins off on the right foot, winning its fifth match in a row on Court 2. The pair dispatched of Leah Heimuli and Whitney Hekking by a 6-1 score. Bolton-Hart has not surrendered more than two games in any of its wins during the streak.
The duo of Abi Altick and Taylor Johnson split its first four games against Emily Dush and Lindsay Hung on Court 2, but took charge down the stretch. Altick-Johnson delivered a 6-3 victory to clinch the day's first point. UCLA has now secured the doubles point in six straight matches.
No. 21 Bolton rode the UCLA momentum into singles play, where the freshman turned in a 6-2, 6-1 result against Madison Tattini. Bolton has now won three matches in a row and a team-high 21 on the season.
Playing on Court 3, senior Broomfield shined in her penultimate regular-season match at LATC. The Toronto native received a challenge from Emily Dush early, as the opponents traded the first eight games of the match. Broomfield seized eight of the final nine, though, for a 6-4, 6-1 victory that made it 3-0.
Taking the singles courts for just the sixth time this season, Andrews made the most of her opportunity on Court 6. She received little challenge from the Utes' Leah Heimuli, registering a 6-2, 6-2 win for her second clincher in as many wins.
UCLA will be back at it Saturday, when it hosts Colorado in the final regular-season match for Andrews, Broomfield and Alaina Miller. First serve is set for 12 p.m., with Senior Day ceremonies taking place before the match.
