DAVIS, Calif. - The No. 68 UC Davis women's tennis team had singles wins from Dahra Zamudio and Kelly Chui despite the Aggies falling to No. 44 Sacramento State 5-2 on Friday at the Marya Welch Tennis Center.

UC Davis faced its seventh ranked opponent on the season, falling to 3-7 on the year while the Hornets picked up a win in their second match of the day, having faced Portland State prior to the Aggies.

Sacramento State started by sweeping the doubles matches to take the first point. The Hornets had the opening win of the afternoon at the No. 2 position before Nicole Koehly and Ellie Edles had a close loss at No. 3 doubles to Katharina Knoebl and Sophie Lohscheidt, 8-6.

Dahra Zamudio started the Aggies with a singles win at the No. 2 position, downing Clarisse Baca, 6-4, 6-1. Kelly Chui helped extend the match, providing the only other UC Davis win on the afternoon with a victory by retirement over Rebeca Delgado, 4-6, 6-2, 2-1. The four Aggie losses in singles came in straight sets, as the Hornets managed to hang on for the final 5-2 win.

UC Davis will look to bounce back tomorrow, heading out on the road for a 12 p.m. match at Santa Clara.
