SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah women's tennis team (4-8, 2-1 MWC) lost its first Mountain West Conference match in a 7-0 shutout by No. 38 New Mexico (8-6, 1-1 MWC).
Linn Ronnberg fell in three sets to Natalia Alekhova, 6-7, 6-1, 6-1 at No. 1 singles. Frida Kareld won the only other set for Utah on the evening, 6-1 in the first, before an injury default at No. 6. Irini Kotoglou and Cassie Kasteler forced tiebreakers in one set each, but couldn't quite earn the sets.
