March 27, 2015 | Women's Tennis
All five of UCLA's singles wins came in straight sets. Friday marked the much anticipated singles return for Jennifer Brady, who has been hampered with a leg injury for much of the season. The 46th-ranked sophomore was dominant in her return, downing Miki Kobayashi, 6-3, 6-2 at court No. 2. Playing next door at court No. 1, top-ranked Robin Anderson lost just three games in a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Grace Ysidora.
Other singles winners for UCLA on the day included 13th-ranked Chanelle Van Nguyen (court No. 3), No. 53 Catherine Harrison (court No. 4) and Terri Fleming (court No. 6).
The Huskies (10-6; 2-2 Pac-12) picked up their lone point of the day at the No. 5 spot, where Capucine Gregoire downed Kristin Wiley, 6-1, 6-4.
The Bruins (13-3; 3-1 Pac-12) opened up Friday's match by taking the doubles point with wins at all three courts.
UCLA returns to action on Saturday, taking on Oregon at 11:30 a.m. in Eugene.
