Academy of Art

Freshman Diane Phan finished off a stellar first week as an Urban Knight with a pair of victories at the number one position and a win in doubles as well. Though her team suffered an 8-1 loss to Sonoma State on Feb. 3, Phan defeated her opponent in convincing fashion 6-0, 6-1. Two days later, she contributed to Academy of Art's 9-0 sweep of Notre Dame de Namur with a 6-2, 6-1 triumph over the Argonauts' top player in singles action and teamed with junior Laone "Lala" Botshoma to take an 8-1 victory home at the number one doubles slot.

Sophomore catcher Jayme Stewart led the Urban Knights offensively in their first victory of the season, an 11-6 win over Cal State Stanislaus in Game 1 of a Feb. 3 doubleheader. She was a perfect 3-for-3 in the contest with three runs batted in and one run scored. After her teammates had set the table in the first inning, Stewart came through with a two-run single to give Academy of Art an early 2-0 advantage. Then, in the fourth inning, she helped add to the lead with a sacrifice fly.
