SAN DIEGO – The No. 2 Texas A&M women's tennis earned a hard-fought, 4-2, victory over San Diego Sunday at the Hogan Tennis Center, closing out the Aggies' California weekend.
The final score reflected the competitiveness of the dual, as the Toreros claimed the doubles point before the Aggies rallied past them, securing four courts to seal the win.
San Diego grabbed the early edge in doubles, taking two courts to secure the opening point, 1-0. The Toreros struck first on court 2, where Hannah Read/Gabby Gregg defeated Anna Perelman/Violeta Martinez, 6-2. USD clinched the point on court 3 as Maria Shmakova/Charlotte Keitel topped Daria Smetannikov/Lexington Reed, 6-4. Mia Kupres/Lucciana Perez and Vilma Krebs Hyllested/Kristina Nordikyan were tied 4-4 in the match went unfinished.
The Maroon & White evened the match quickly in singles play, as No.76 Martinez cruised past Ines Leon, 6-2, 6-1, on court 4 to put the A&M on the board. San Diego regained the lead shortly when Perelman fell to Shmakova on court 6, 6-3, 6-1. The Aggies answered immediately with No. 83 Smetannikov, who earned a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Gregg on court 5, leveling the score once again.
The Maroon & White surged to the finish line as Perez secured a gritty 7-5, 7-5 win against Keitel on court 2, while No. 34 Kupres followed with a determined three-set victory over No. 53 Read, 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4, on court 1 to clinch the match.

TEXAS A&M QUOTES Head Coach Mark Weaver On the match... "Overall I am pleased with the victory. USD is a very difficult place to play at, as our 2024 national championship team can attest to as we took a loss here two years ago. There are a lot of things that we learned from the match and we will be better off for it. I thought it was great composure by several of our girls and the match was really coming down to the wire towards the second half of a very long dual match"

The Aggies return to action Friday when they head to Champaign, Illinois, to compete in the ITA National Team Indoor Championships.
