FRESNO, Calif.— The Colorado Mesa University Mavericks dropped a pair of 4-0 decisions to fellow Pacific West Conference foes here at the Haak Tennis Complex falling to the host Fresno Pacific University Sunbirds before dropping another neutral-court decision to the Dominican University of California Penguins.
 
Both duals were played to clinch.
 
CMU fell to 9-11 with the losses and went 2-3 on their 4-day Spring Break week swing through California.
 
The Sunbirds are now 4-11 while the Penguins won their fourth straight match to improve to 9-4.
 
The Mavs battled in doubles but were left behind in the singles play during doubles play.
 
Against the Sunbirds, Delia Maier and Kristen Thomas defeated Daimy Paula and Halle Faherty, 6-3 at No. 3 doubles before the Sunbirds won the other two flights.  They then won at No. 1, 3 and 4 singles.

Maverick junior Makenna Livingston did win the first set of her No. 2 singles match against Audrey Ouellet by a 6-3 score but was trailing 4-2 in the second set when the match was called off.  The No. 5 and 6 singles matches did not even begin.
 
Against Dominican, Devyn Rodriguez and Julianna Campos were headed to tie-breaker at No. 2 doubles when that tilt was left unfinished when the Penguins won at No. 1 and 3 doubles.
 
In singles, the Penguins won at No. 4, 3 and 2 singles while Delia Maier was up a set for the Mavs in the sixth flight, cruising over Zoe Coggins, 6-0 in the first.  Campos was also level with Astrid Craig at 5-5 in the first set of the No. 5 singles encounter while Issy Coman was level with Audrey Rafols in the first set at 4-all after Rafols had won the opening set, 7-5.
 
The Mavericks, who have been to Idaho, Nebraska, Arizona, Utah and California twice this spring, will finally be able to play a home match, their first of the spring, on Monday, Apr. 1 when they host Stanislaus State at the Elliott Tennis Center in Grand Junction.
