Fellow freshman Alexis Valenzuela holds a dual record of 4-3, competing the majority of the time at the No. 2 spot. The native is West Covina, Calif., is also on a team-best three-match win streak. Valenzuela won her first match at the No. 1 spot last Thursday, defeating UC Irvine's Marivick Mamiit, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 10-8.
