It was only fitting that Hannah Grady put the finishing touches on a magical Big West career, as her singles match victory clinched Long Beach State’s sixth consecutive Big West championship. <\/span>The win, her final Big West competition, put the cherry on top of a third season of perfect play in conference, as she finishes her Big West career with a 43-1 record in singles.<\/p>\n \n Long Beach State started the day by taking the doubles point. The 49ers lost at No. 1 singles, but after an 8-3 win at No. 3 from Anais Dallara and Rachel Manasse, Deborah Armstrong and Lisa Sutton clinched the point with an 8-6 win over Courtney Byron and Miranda Young.<\/p>\n In singles, UC Irvine took the first point as Byron beat Manasse 6-3, 7-6, but Long Beach State stormed back to win the title. Anais Dallara earned her 20th singles win of the year by dropping Clare Fermin at 6-3, 6-4, and Julie Luzar earned a key win at No. 5, beating Rebecca Kwan 6-1, 7-6.<\/p>\n Grady then clinched the match, rebounding from a first-set loss to win 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 over Stephanie Hammel, giving No. 60 Long Beach State a 4-1 win over No. 56 UC Irvine.<\/p>\n Long Beach State will have to wait to find out its opponent in the NCAA Tournament, but will return to action in the first round beginning on May 8.<\/p>\n DOUBLES <\/b><\/p>\n Fermin\/Kaloi, UCI def.
