TUCSON, Ariz. — The Sacramento State women's tennis team wrapped up its fall schedule with a winning weekend in Tucson, Ariz., finishing a combined 18-7 in singles and doubles matches at the three-day Arizona's Wildcat Invitational held at the Tucson Racquet Club.

The Hornets won 10 of their 11 matches on day one, finished 8-3 on day two, then wrapped up with an 0-3 mark on a rainy day three in which only doubles was able to be played. Sacramento State was one of seven schools competing at the event along with Big Sky Conference rivals Northern Arizona and Portland State, Boise State, UC San Diego, host Arizona, and Grand Canyon.

Senior Palina Saulevich was one of four Hornets to finish 2-0 in singles play along with juniors Reese Walker and Elena Mercioiu, and freshman Cami Maldonado Gutierrez, while sophomore Emilija Pranyte and freshman Isabella Temenugov ended the weekend with a 1-1 record.

In doubles play, the duo of Saulevich and Walker posted wins in three of their four doubles matches, while the freshman tandem of Maldonado Gutierrez and Temenugov finished with three wins against a pair of losses. Mercioiu and Pranyte ended the weekend with a 2-2 mark.

The Hornets now break until opening their spring championship season in late January, traveling to Hawai'i for three matches — one against Hawai'i Pacific on Jan. 20 before taking on Hawai'i on back-to-back days on Jan. 22-23. Sacramento State hosts Saint Mary's in its home opener on Jan. 31.
