No it did not. A denial of certiorari is not a decision on the merits. The petition applying for the writ, and the opposition brief, don't even argue the merits. The Supreme Court chose not to hear the case, and did not hear the case. That is not "a victory at the Supreme Court" except perhaps to people who know nothing about legal process.
The Supreme Court receives about 10,000 petitions for a writ of certiorari each year. Of those it grants ceriorari in and hears about 70 to 80 cases.
