SAN DIEGO -
Nikki Newell and
Regina von Koch proved to be the best two individuals on the court on Thursday, winning matches at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, unfortunately these would be the only points the No. 33 Point Loma women's tennis team would receive as they fell to No.18 UC San Diego (Feb. 4).
Â
The Sea Lions are now 1-1 on the season and UCSD also even its record at 2-2.
Â
After PLNU dropped all three doubles, Newell took down Kyra Scott in straight sets at No. 1s, 6-4 and 6-2 in her first match of the season. von Koch and Jasmine Hosseini battled for almost three hours but in the end it was the Sea Lion that emerged victorious by the score of 7-5, 3-6 and 10-4.

PLNU will attempt to get back in the win column next Wednesday when it hosts Cal State LA at 2:00 p.m.
