SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Bell Zhou won in both singles and doubles as the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's tennis team earned a 4-1 win over Division II Point Loma on Friday afternoon. 

With the win, CMS now stands at 1-1 on the season with the loss a 4-3 defeat to Division I UC Riverside. The match was played up until the clinch, with two singles matches left unfinished once Zhou provided the clinch at No. 4 singles.

Rachel Garton picked up the first win in singles for CMS by taking a 6-3, 6-1 win at No. 6 to stretch the lead to 2-0. Leah Baroudi finished off a quick three-setter at No. 5 with a 6-0, 2-6, 6-1 win to get the Athenas within a single point, and Zhou finished it off with a tight second-set win, taking a 6-1, 7-5 victory at No. 4 to end the match. 

Kong had found her groove at No. 1 singles when her match was halted, leading 5-7, 6-0, 3-0 in the third. Shifali Dinesh had just started her third set at No. 3 after splitting the first two.
