FULLERTON, CA - Cal State Fullerton seniors Gina Le and Mai-Ly Tran each posted singles wins and teamed up to win their No. 1 doubles contest for the Titans, but it was visiting Pacific that left Fullerton with a 5-2 women's tennis victory on Sunday.

Le and Tran defeated the Tigers' duo of Jolanta Twarowska and Sasha Fisher, 8-7, but Pacific took the next two by identical scores of 8-4 to jump out to a 1-0 overall lead in the match.
