San Diego State Women’s Tennis Set for Senior Day Finale Against Grand Canyon

San Diego State women’s tennis is preparing for its 2026 season finale, hosting Grand Canyon in a Mountain West showdown at the Aztec Tennis Center. The match is scheduled for 11 a.m. PT on Friday, April 17, 2026, following senior day celebrations beginning at 10:30 a.m. PT.

Entering the contest, the Aztecs hold a 17-3 overall record and a 9-1 mark in conference play, tied for first in the Mountain West standings. A victory over Grand Canyon would secure at least a share of the regular season conference championship for San Diego State.

The Aztecs lead the all-time series against Grand Canyon 3-1, having won the most recent meeting 5-1 in 2025. This Friday’s match will be just the fifth encounter between the two programs.

Prior to the match, head coach Nicolas Vinel will honor three seniors: Gloria Alogo, Jo-Yee Chan, and Ninon Martinache. Chan holds a 37-21 singles and 44-19 doubles record as an Aztec, whereas Alogo has a 38-22 singles record and 26-33 in doubles. Martinache posts a 30-22 singles record and 36-12 in doubles.

The Aztecs will play their home matches at the Aztec Tennis Center, a 12-court facility featuring Plexicushion Prestige surfacing — the same material used at the U.S. Open’s National Tennis Center in New York. The complex opened in spring 2005 and was made possible through the support of San Diego Padres owner John Moores.

If a tie occurs in the Mountain West standings between San Diego State, Boise State, and UNLV, tournament seeding will be determined by ITA National Rankings.

The Mountain West Championships are set to take place April 22–25 in Las Vegas.
