Marina Todd fought to the very end to pick up her match win. She dropped the first set 6-4 but then battled back and won the second set 7-5. She then won a match tiebreaker 10-4 to take the match.
 
Portland State welcomes Eastern Washington on Friday which comes into play this weekend with a 1-6 overall record and is 0-1 in conference .
