SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Sophomore Myra Anwar led a sweep in singles to help St. Francis post a 9-0 win over Sheldon in a Delta League dual match at Rio del Oro Racquet Club. The Troubadours improved to 4-0 in league play heading into a match against rival Franklin on Thursday.

“Everyone played really well today and put out their best efforts, trying to improve and get pumped up for the Franklin match,” said sophomore Myra Anwar.

Anwar defeated Sheldon’s Krista Lee at No. 1 singles 6-3, 6-2 to improve to 4-4 overall at the top position.

“I thought it went good,” said Anwar. “There were more things I could have improved on but overall it was good.”

The Troubadours also got wins from freshman Adithi Benush at No. 2, while juniors Kiya Jackson and Kyla Jackson won at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. Junior Marisa Fat (5) and senior Abby Benvenuti (6) each lost just a single game in posting victories.

Senior Macy Wood and junior Stephanie Fong were straight-set winners at the top doubles spot, posting a 6-0, 6-1 win over Cindy Lum and Alyssa Le 6-0, 6-1.

“Stephanie and I work really well together,” said Wood of the tandem. “We handled the net really well, served and were really consistent playing our hardest to get the next ball better than the previous.”

Freshman Bianca Ariza and Peyton Spellacy won at No. 2, while junior Lilly McGee and freshman JJ Gianulias were winners at No. 3.

“We stayed focused and always try to stick out in the matches,” said Fong. “I am really proud of my team.”
