BERKELEY - Maegan Manasse clinched No. 9/16 Cal's 7-0 rout of No. 32 Washington on Friday at the Hellman Tennis Complex, with the Golden Bears improving to 8-0 on their home courts. The Golden Bear senior - ranked 65th in singles - upset the 35th-ranked Stacey Fung on court one, 6-1, 6-3, to give Cal a 4-0 lead over the Huskies, and Cal won the last three matches to make the final score 7-0.

The Bears improved their overall record to 14-3 (7-1 Pac-12). Washington's record stands at 15-7 (4-4 Pac-12).
 
Friday's match marked just the second time Cal has played outdoors in its last five matches, with the Bears routing Sacramento State, 7-0, on April 5 also at Hellman. Cal played indoors at Colorado on March 31, at Utah on April 2 and at Oregon on April 8.
 
"It was really nice to be back at Hellman," Cal head coach Amanda Augustus said. "We hadn't played outdoors much lately, and we were looking forward to that.
 
"We came out aggressively in doubles, which was good. We had a good, solid week of practice and worked on a few things. In singles, we were ready for the Huskies to push back, and they did. We responded, with everyone finishing off their matches in straights sets. It was a really solid victory today."
 
The Bears raced to a 1-0 lead after winning 6-1 on courts one and two. The 51st-ranked pair of Manasse and Maya Jansen upset the 35th-ranked duo of Nour Abbes and Miki Kobayashi, 6-1, on one, and then the team of junior Karla Popovic and sophomore Olivia Hauger posted a 6-1 win over Fung and Kenadi Hance on two to clinch the point.
 
In singles, Jansen gave Cal a 2-0 lead when she beat Katarina Kopcalic, 6-0, 6-1, on court five. Sophomore Maria Smith quickly followed with a 6-0, 6-2 win over Lana Slavica on court six to make the score 3-0. Manasse then posted her second clinching win of the season over on one.
 
Hauger, ranked 104th in singles, was the last Bear to win a first set, but she won her match next, beating Alexis Prokopuik, 6-3, 6-0, on court four. Popovic, ranked 12th, knocked off the 106th-ranked Kobayashi, 6-1, 7-5, on two, and then senior Denise Starr – playing in her third to last regular-season home match – dispatched Hance, 6-4, 6-3, on three to wrap up Cal's win.
 
"I was just glad to get another point on the board," Manasse said of clinching. "We had a really good day today, and I'm excited to see what we have for tomorrow."
 
Cal hosts Washington State on Saturday at noon in another conference contest at Hellman. Before the match, Cal will conduct its Senior Day ceremony.
