In singles, the 49ers\u2019 depth played a key role as Long Beach State won easily in the bottom half of the lineup. Cantlay dropped just a single game in a 6-0, 6-1 win over Gabrielle Duncan, while Alawi was a 6-1, 6-2 winner at No. 4 singles. Manasse defeated Amelia Harris 6-1, 6-2 to round out the bottom half of the lineup.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
