In singles, Hayley Barker topped Christina Wong 6-4, 6-0, while No. 2 Rachel Smith and No. 3 Kristina Slavich edged out the next two matches.

Notre Dame managed to take the No. 3 doubles spot, however, when Kaitlyn Williams and Virginia Eastwood beat Dube and Garcia 6-0, 7-6.
San Benito is now 7-3 in the Tri-County Athletic League, 10-6 overall. The Lady Balers will host Salinas Tuesday at the Ridgemark Golf and Country Club in Hollister.
