LOS ANGELES — Saint Mary's faced their second straight ranked Pac-12 opponent on Saturday in No. 17 USC and lost by a 4-0 score to the Women of Troy. The Gaels opened their season against No. 19 California back in January.
USC claimed the doubles point with wins on courts 1 and 3. The Gaels' top tandem of Mariia Kozyreva and Danielle McIntyre faced a tall task of squaring off with the No. 12 duo in the nation in Eryn Cayetano and Angela Kulikov on court 1.
The Women of Troy took three straight singles matches on courts 3, 4, and 5 to claim the match.
