Report by LBSU<\/span><\/p>\n

Long Beach State won two matches to grab the doubles point, but lost four matches in singles as the tennis team\u2019s bid to win a seventh straight championship came up short as the 49ers fell to UC Irvine 4-1 in the Big West Championships.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Long Beach State had beaten the Anteaters in the last two seasons in the finals, and got off to a good start on Sunday with two wins in doubles. Jaklin Alawi and Rachel Manasse beat Holladay\/Kwan at No. 1 doubles 8-2, while Sarah Cantlay and Julie Luzar picked up their third win of the tournament in doubles, beating Bartlett\/Bisharat 8-2.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

In singles, however, it was UC Irvine that earned the big victories. April Bisharat defeated Anais Dallara at No. 2 singles 6-0, 6-3 to tie the score in the match, and wins at No. 5 and 6 by the Anteaters made the score 3-1 in favor of UC Irvine.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Both Deborah Armstrong and Rachel Manasse led their matches at No. 3 and No. 4, but Jaklin Alawi dropped the first set to Courtney Byron 7-5, and a second set loss by a 6-4 margin allowed UC Irvine to clinch the match prior to the end of the other matches.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The 49ers, coming into the week ranked No. 45 in the nation, finish the season at 19-6 in dual matches, barring an at-large selection into the NCAA Tournament, beginning on May 14. The NCAA announcement for the tournament pairings will be on May 4.<\/o:p><\/p>\n
