Bulls Roll Past Tulane, Win Tenth Straight

TAMPA (March 27, 2016) – The USF women's tennis team extended its winning streak to 10 Sunday afternoon as they defeated conference opponent Tulane, 4-0, at the USF Varsity Tennis Courts. The win improves USF to 3-1 in conference play this season.

The Bulls (12-5) earned the first point of the afternoon by taking two of the three doubles matches. USF tandem of Vanja Klaric (Serbia) and Chloe Murphy (England) cruised to a 6-1 win in the three spot. Juniors Vera Bessonova (Moscow, Russia) and Olga Martinez (Barcelona, Spain) overcame an early deficit to win 6-3 in the premiere doubles spot for the Bulls.

It didn't take long for USF to capture its first singles point as freshman Nicole Dzenga (Harare, Zimbabwe) looked sharp in a 6-4, 6-2 win on court six. The freshman has been impressive in her first season compiling an 8-4 record and winning her last six singles matches.

Sophomore Juliana Cardoso (Descalvado, Brazil) would quickly follow with a 6-4, 6-2 win of her own on court six to give the Bulls a 3-0 lead. With her win on Sunday, Cardoso has won her last nine singles matches and is 11-3 on the season.

The match of the day was on court three featuring USF freshman Ana Roman Dominguez (Spain). Dominguez clinched the match for the Bulls as she came back from a first set deficit to win 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. Dominguez now ranks second on the team with nine wins.

The Bulls are back in action Wednesday, March 30, as they take on in-state rival UCF in the fifth conference match of the season in Orlando, Fla.
