RIVERSIDE, Calif. --- The NAIA's No. 4-ranked California Baptist University won all six singles' matches in straight sets for its second straight 9-0 victory, this one coming against No. 18 Hope International Tuesday at the Pentz Tennis Center.
The win moves the Lancers' 4-1 overall, 3-1 GSAC. The Royals fall to 4-4, 1-2.
The Lancers swept through doubles' play. Lucas Pereira and Gabor Toth easily defeated Sebastian Bunescu and Brett Harvey, 8-0, at No. 3 to get the Lancers going.
With a 3-0 lead heading into singles' play, the Lancers needed just two wins. They got those easily as Toth defeated Harvey, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 6, and Martin Vaisse defeated Johan Weich, 6-1, 6-0 at No. 4 to provide the match-clinching point.
