The Wyoming tennis team (6-2 overall) won its third straight matches with a 4-0 victory over the UTEP Miners (2-7 overall) on Saturday morning.
“I can’t point out one outstanding performance from one person because this was a total team victory,” head coach Dean Clower. “The team was ready to go from the first point. Thanks again for the support from the crowd, making this one of the toughest places to play. The ladies will get a well-deserved day off tomorrow and enjoy this victory.”
Wyoming jumped out to a 1-0 early lead by taking two of three matches. The duo of Magdalena Stencel and Miranda Talbert defeated Daphne Visscher and Raven Bennett, 6-2, followed by a 6-3 victory by Dorottya Jonas and Ana Tkachenko over Duda Santos and Lois Wagenvoort, 6-4. At the number one spot, Elisa Koonik and Tessa Van Der Ploeg were up 3-2 over Vivienne Kulicke and Milou Pietersz but didn’t finish.
Momentum carried over to singles play with the Cowgirls needing only three wins. van Der Ploeg won easily, 6-2, 6-3, over Santos, while Jonas beat Pietersz, 6-0, 6-2. At the number three spot, Milka Genkova clinched the match for Wyoming with a 6-2, 6-3 victory against Visscher.
Wyoming will return to action next Saturday afternoon. The Cowgirls will face the Northern Colorado Bears beginning at 1 p.m. in Greeley.
