LOGAN, Utah -- The Wyoming tennis team earned a tough 4-3 victory over the Utah State Aggies on Thursday afternoon.
“We started out very focused, strong and dominated in doubles today,” UW head coach Kati Gyulai said. “Unfortunately, it didn’t carry over into singles play and we were lucky to have escaped a loss.”
The Cowgirls earned the doubles point by sweeping all three matches. Sarah Summerfield and Carly Van Hollen started the day with a win against Bridgette Strickland and Hailey Swenson, 8-3. In the number two spot, Rebecca Berger and Jamie Nelson defeated Monica Abella and Carla Limon, 8-2. To wrap up doubles play, Carolina Chaix and freshman Calli Pass beat Britney Watts and Taylor Perry, 8-4.
In singles play, each team would win three singles matches apiece. Summerfield started off with a loss to Swenson, 6-3, 6-4. Van Hollen played in the number two spot and fell in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4 to Strickland. Berger earned the Cowgirls a win, 7-5, 6-4, against Abella. Nelson followed with a three set-victory, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4, over Perry. In the number five spot, Chaix clinched the win with a 6-3, 6-3 defeat of Limon. Pass finished the day with a loss to Watts, 6-0, 6-0.
