RIVERSIDE, Calif.—The No. 65 University of Hawai'i women's tennis team (4-3, 2-0 Big West) opened their first mainland roadtrip with a 4-1 win at UC Riverside (2-6, 0-2 BWC) on Sunday afternoon.
 
The Rainbow Wahine captured the doubles point with two quick wins over the Highlanders. UH's No. 2 duo of Marina Hruba and Paulina Petriskova cruised to a 6-1 win over UCR's Tracy Van and Natalie Penner. Hawai'i's No. 1 doubles team of Sarah Gealer and Klara Pribylova followed suit, defeating Karla Dulay and Tamilla Vaksman, 6-2.
 
In singles, UH's top three all won in straight sets to clinch the match. Hruba, who was recently ranked at No. 99 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll, knocked off UCR's Chloe Pham, 6-0, 6-1 on the No. 1 court. No. 2 Gealer held off Tracy Van, 6-3, 6-2 and UH's Pribylova defeated UCR's Dulay, 6-2, 6-2 to clinch the match.
 
Hawai'i's Cindy Nguyen did not play in the match against UC Riverside as she had to sit out one match this season due to the amount of matches she played in the preseason. Today's match at UCR marked the first appearance for team newcomer, Arthi Reddy.

The Rainbow Wahine will head down the California coast to take on San Diego State on Feb. 16 and San Diego on Feb. 18.
