BERKELEY, Calif--The seventh-ranked California women's tennis team continued its early season roll and notched its sixth consecutive dual match victory, dispatching No. 21 San Diego State, 8-1, at the Hellman Tennis Center on the Cal campus Friday afternoon. The victory improved the Bears to 6-0 on the season, while San Diego State fell to 3-2 with the loss.

Amanda Augustus led the way for Cal at No. 1 singles with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over SDSU's Maggie Cole. The win improved Augustus' overall record to 13-3 and was her first over Cole on the collegiate level. Esther Knox, Anita Kurimay, Stephanie Tibbits and Amy Jensen also registered victories for the Bears as Cal took all but one of the singles matches.

The Bears went on to sweep through doubles play, winning all three matches, to provide the final margin of victory, 8-1.
