FULLERTON, CA - Cal State Fullerton senior Mai-Ly Tran and sophomore Shelly Injejikian each posted singles victories on Wednesday afternoon as the Titans fell to No. 57 San Diego, 5-2, in a non-conference women's tennis match in San Diego, Calif.

The Titans lost their third consecutive match to open the 2007 season in falling to 1-3 overall. USD improved to 2-0 overall with the win.
