COLORADO SPRINGS -- It was a tough start to a three-match road trip for the Wyoming tennis team (7-11 overall, 1-3 MWC), as the Cowgirls fell to 37th-ranked San Diego State 6-1 on Friday.
The loss dropped the Cowgirls to 1-3 in Mountain West play and 7-11 overall.
“We played well today against a very good SDSU team,” said head coach Kati Gyulai. “We played them close in almost every match and we hope to build on this for tomorrow’s dual against UNLV.”
In doubles play, the Aztecs earned the point with wins at the number one and three spots. Wyoming's Rebecca Berger and Jamie Nelson pulled off a big victory, 9-8 (4), against Kathryn Kitts and Milana Yusupov. But UW's Sarah Summerfield and Carly Van Hollen fell to the number one team of Roxanne and Sierra Ellison, 9-8 (4), while SDSU's Esther Cadua and Olivia Colman won by default in the third spot.
It was tough going in singles play, as the Cowgirls could only manage to win one match on the day. Summerfield earned a tough three-set victory, 2-6, 6-4, 13-11, over Julia Tank at the number one position. Bagshaw defeated Berger in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, while Van Hollen lost in three sets, 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, against Cioffi. In the number four spot, Chaix fell 6-2, 6-0, to Cadua and the Aztecs closed things out with Colman over Nelson, 6-3, 6-4.
The Cowgirls will be back in action on Saturday, as they take on UNLV at 9 a.m.
