Sacramento, Calif.--The No. 38-ranked Georgia State women's tennis team fell 5-2 at No. 43 Sacramento State on Monday.

The Panthers (4-3) received victories from sophomore Abigail Tere-Apisah and freshman Masa Grgan in singles. Tere-Apisah, the No. 58-ranked player in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Women's Singles rankings, improved to 7-0 this season with the win. She dispatched Sacramento State senior Tatsiana Kapshai, 4-6, 6-2, 6-0, at No. 1 singles and snapped Kapshai's five-match winning streak with her victory.

Grgan followed that win with a victory of her own at No. 4 singles. She beat Hornets sophomore Sophie Lohscheidt, 7-5, 6-0, to even her record at 4-4 on the year in singles.

The No. 3 doubles team of Grgan and junior Martina Ondrackova improved to 6-1 this season with a 8-4 triumph at No. 3 doubles.

Monday's match was moved indoors due to expected rain in the Sacramento area. The Panthers, led by fifth-year head coach Miha Lisac, are the fourth ranked team Sacramento State (7-3) has faced this season.

Georgia State's spring break schedule continues on Wednesday. The Panthers travel to Santa Barbara, Calif., for the second of three matches in California this week.
