COLLEGE ROUNDUP : UC Irvine Upsets Harvard in Tennis Tournament Semifinal

The 36th-ranked UC Irvine men’s tennis team upset 20th-ranked Harvard, 5-2, Friday at the 15th annual UCI Tennis Classic at the UCI Tennis Stadium.

Arizona 5-5, CS Fullerton 3-2--The Titans were able to keep up with Arizona in the early innings of both games, but home runs from Laura Espinoza and Jenny Dolan in the fourth and fifth innings in the second game and key doubles in the first game were too much for Fullerton (16-21). Arizona is 33-1.
