The Fresno Pacific tennis teams picked up key wins in San Diego on Saturday, defeating ranked Point Loma Nazarene teams on both the men's and the women's side.

The women were tied 3-3 after singles play, but FPU controlled all three doubles matches for the 6-3 win. The men were never really tested, dropping only #2 singles where Kirill Sinitsyn lost a fierce three-set battle.

Both teams remain undefeated on the season and will play their home opener on Monday against Hope International.
