Falcons defeat Reedley, improve to 7-0

Finishing off a four-day road trip with a match at Reedley College, the Falcons managed to shake off the fatigue and a slow start as they rallied to defeat the Tigers, 8-1, on Saturday afternoon.  With two of the doubles matches decided by tie-breaker sets, the Falcons took a 3-0 lead after doubles.  The lone loss in singles occurred when Abriana Rowe was forced to retire with the flu.  With the win, the Falcons improve their season record to 7-0.  They will face American River on Thursday at ARC in a showdown of the Big 8 Conference leaders.
