A small shuffle to the Mustang lineup didn't shake the purple and gold's confidence. WNMU stampeded all over Sonoma State, 8-1.
In doubles play, the Mustangs went 3 for 3 with
Emmanuel Mensah (Accra, Ghana, ITF Center Home, Mt. San Jacinto College) and
Johan Weich (Landskrona, Sweden, Filbornaskolan High School, Hope International University) winning, 8-0;
Yair Banuelos (Mexico City, Mexico, Universidal del Valle de Mexico, Riverside Community College) and
Henning Thrien (Gelsenkirchen, Germany, Carl Friedrick Gaus Gymnasium, Hope International University) handling their competition, 8-3; and
Rodrigo Almeida (Arapongas, Brazil, Nene Lourenco High School) and
Jean Benoit Belin (Nimes, France, Emmanuel d'Alzon High School, Staps University (France)) winning, 8-3.
At singles, Thrien, out of the ordinary, did not see a spot on the court. It did not seem to have an ill-effect on the Mustangs. They won at each of the top five spots.
Francisco Damasio (Jundiai, Brazil, Centro Educational Sigma High School) could not complete the sweep at No. 6. He fell, 6-3 and 6-1.
