SAN JOSE, CALIF. – A dominant San José State performance drops the Wolf Pack to 1-1 in conference play, splitting the opening week of Mountain West play.
 
The Spartans opened the dual by winning a split doubles session, earning the early 1-0 advantage. Irena Muradyan and Cheuk Ying Shek showed their top-flight capability in a quick 6-2 defeat of Nevada's Amahée Charrier and Anastasia Luneva. The Wolf Pack won the court two match with Léa Cakarevic and Marlene Foerster edging out Carolina Millan and Jovana Babic in a long tiebreaker, defeating the Spartan pair 7-6 (6). San José State clinched the doubles point on court three in another tightly contested match. Rozalina Youseva and Duru Durgun took advantage of a key break to defeat Kennedy Robinson and Wiem Boubaker, 7-5.
 
San José State added their three singles point quickly, allowing no more than five games in any of their three victories. Muradyan defeated Lou-Anne Guerbert 6-3, 6-2 on court two. Guerbert's loss was her first-ever result playing outside of the third flight for Nevada.
 
On court five, Babic defeated Luneva 6-3, 6-0 to add the Spartans' third point, quickly followed by Durgun's 6-1, 6-2 victory over Robinson to clinch the dual for San José State, 4-0.
 
At the abandonment of the dual, Charrier led Millan 6-4, 3-4 on court one, as did Boubaker, who led Youseva 6-3, 3-4 on court four. San José State's Ying Shek led Foerster 7-5, 2-4 when the dual was called final.
