SACRAMENTO, Calif. – St. Francis won all six singles and all three doubles in straight sets, surrendering just a total of five games, to defeat Sheldon by a 9-0 team score in Delta League girls' tennis action Tuesday.

Furthermore, the No. 1 doubles tandem of Anna Dinh and Arden Garcia; and the No. 2 doubles pairing of Sophia Troppmann and Caroline Niethammer won by similar result.
