<\/div>\n Story by Long Beach State Sports Information Department<\/span><\/p>\n Long Beach swept the top four singles matches to beat the rain and the Aztecs 4-2 on Friday afternoon. Playing singles first to try and beat an upcoming rainstorm, the 49ers locked up the match and were leading in doubles before the skies opened, shortening the contest.<\/p>\n In a matchup between the team’s two ranked players, Long Beach State’s No. 68 Hannah Grady got the better of No. 93 Julia Trunk, outlasting Trunk 7-5, 6-1 to get the match started for the 49ers. Deborah Armstrong and Rachel Manasse both cruised through the top half of singles, each winning 6-3, 6-2.<\/p>\n Anais Dallara then clinched the match with a 6-4, 7-6 win at No. 4 singles over Milana Yusupov. Julie Luzar and Jessica Weeks fell in singles to account for the final score.<\/p>\n In doubles, Grady and Weeks were ahead of Trunk and Bagshaw 6-3, while Dallara and Manasse held a commanding lead over Cadua and Kitts 6-2. However, with the weather in the area, the match was unable to be completed. The 49ers still pick up the win due to the four singles wins however.<\/p>\n Long Beach State returns home to face Cal State Northridge in a Big West Conference matchup next Friday at 2 p.m., and will play the rescheduled Cal State Fullerton match in Fullerton on Saturday, February 21.<\/p>\n Singles<\/span> Doubles<\/span>
