League Match 1 was a highly successful event for UCSD, as we won both our matches against SDSU and SLO overall. Our players gave it their all, displaying excellent skill and talent with some truly nail-biting matches. The Tritons dominated all their events, with Wyatt Fong winning his hour-long 3-setter in Men's Singles with a score of  18-21,21-18, 21-19 and Ella Mak dominating the Women's Singles. Our Men's Doubles played by Jason Yang and Nolan Chin as well as Wyatt Fong and Shreyas Kotian, greatly aided in achieving this remarkable achievement. As for our two women's doubles pairs, Salina Tang and Angela Xu, and Annabelle Zhou and Ella Mak, both sailed smoothly against their opponents, helping us reach the finish line. Edwards Tong and Angela Xu also expressed excellent performance in their mixed doubles match, winning 21-12,21-17 against UCR. 

Overall, UCSD had a great performance throughout the day, demonstrating not only the team’s strong technical ability but also their sportsmanship, teamwork, and determination. The event showcased the Tritons’ growing presence in the Southern California badminton league, setting a promising tone for the rest of the SCCBL season.
