TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona (11-12, 2-8 Pac-12) lost a 4-0 match to No. 26 Arizona State (14-6, 7-3 Pac-12) on Saturday Apr. 22 in Tempe, Ariz.

"ASU was the better team today," said head coach Vicky Maes. "There was a moment in the doubles where we could have done some damage but we came up short. It led to a slow start in singles and ASU kept their foot on the gas. We need to regroup and hopefully have a healthy team going to the Pac-12 tournament next week."

The doubles point was not earned easily. Arizona State jumped ahead when Anderson/Slaysman defeated Samantha Czarniak and Marie Van Aelst 6-1. The No. 56 duo of Lauren Marker and Paris Corley evened things up with a 6-3 win over Osborne/Fossa Huergo. The Sun Devils clinched the point when Jump/Hampton beat Camila Wesbrooks and Devin Chypyha 6-4.

In singles action, the Cats were not able to mount a comeback. In her return from injury, Chypyha fell 6-1, 6-2 to Nicole Fossa Huergo. Savannah Slaysman gave Arizona State a 3-0 lead when she defeated Van Aelst 6-2, 6-3. No. 104 Sammi Hampton clinched a 4-0 victory with her 6-3, 6-1 win over Corley. No. 28 Marker trailed No. 60 Kassidy Jump 6-2, 4-5. No. 107 Kelley Anderson led Wesbrooks 7-6(2), 2-3. Maggie Cohen was behind 6-1, 2-0 to Gussie O'Sullivan.
