PORTLAND, Ore. – The Portland State women's tennis team (5-4, 0-0)  recorded their fourth and fifth wins of the season in the same day, as the squad downed Lewis & Clark College, 6-1, in a morning road match, and returned home to defeat George Fox, 7-0, to complete the weekend sweep.
 
PSU first traveled to the Lewis & Clark campus for an early morning match with the Pioneers.
 
The Viks came out firing on all cylinders in doubles play as the No. 1 team of Daria Burobina and Kelsey Frey dominated Aurora Garrison and Isabelle Borris to the tune of 8-0, to give the Viks a 1-0 lead.

In the No. 3 spot Marina Todd and Megan Govi made quick work of Olivia Cornell and Gillian Lowe, 8-2 to complete the sweep.
 
With the doubles point no longer in doubt the Viks rolled through singles play earning wins at every position except No. 2 as Govi made quick work in the No. 5 spot, defeating Osepyan 6-0, 6-0, while Pellicano and Frey also had strong performances from the No. 4 and No. 3 spots, respectively.
 
Mallen played from the No. 1 spot and took down Garrison, 6-3, 6-2, while Alexa McDonald's win at the No. 6 spot against Borris, 6-1, 6-0, helped PSU secure the 6-1 victory.
 
In the evening match against George Fox the results were very similar.

Pellicano and Mallen were next to record a doubles win, downing Krsita Rey and Alyssa Emoto, 8-2.
 
Mcdonald and Nayanatara Vadali completed the doubles dominance from the No. 3 spot defeating Bethany Nguyen and Aleassa Wren, 8-1 and securing the doubles point for the Viks.
 
In singles play Portland State handled the Bruins begining with the No. 1 spot as Mallen didn't allow a single point against, defeating Molly Beaumont, 6-0, 6-0.
 
Pellicano earned her second win of the day downing Shaina Inn, 6-1, 6-2, with Marina Todd, getting on the board with a victory from No. 2 spot, defeating Emoto, 6-3, 6-0.
 
With the match clinched, the Viks didn't let up as Megan Govi continued her streak of consistency defeating Rey, 6-0, 6-0, while McDonald won at the No. 5 spot, 6-1, 6-1 and Vadali completed the clean sweep with a 6-0, 6-1, victory from the No. 6 position.
