Cypress, Calif. - Cypress Women’s Tennis played its first match of 2009 on Tuesday, the first match for the program since 2006. The Chargers debuted with a 5-2 loss to El Camino. Freshman Yvonne Jara led Cypress with a win in the number two slot.

The Chargers lost the first singles match to finish but freshman Ahed Saleh evened the score with a win in the number four spot 6-2, 6-3. Cypress then lost in the number one slot before Jara won in the number two slot 6-4, 6-2. The Chargers automatically lost in the fifth slot because of lack of players, and both teams did not have enough for the six slot. Losing 3-2 after singles action, Cypress was not able to make up ground in doubles losing both matches contested.
