Saint Mary’s women’s tennis came through in perhaps their biggest weekend of the season, dominating Portland by a score of 4-0 on Friday before edging rival Gonzaga 4-3 in Moraga Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Gaels have taken sole possession of second place in West Coast Conference standings and now have a date with BYU next Saturday, where a win would ensure at least a second-place WCC finish before heading into the conference tournament.

“We travel to BYU, and then the following week we have the conference tournament,” said Kareena Manji, one of three seniors honored on the Gaels’ Senior Day, their last home match at Saint Mary’s.
