SALT LAKE CITY- Lexi Provancha and Lisa Johnson The University of Utah women's tennis team advanced through qualifying play Wednesday at the Wilson/ITA Central Region Championships in Salt Lake City. They will join three of their teammates in main draw play Thursday.

"Today was a good performance," said head coach Mat Iandolo. " I am really proud of Lexi, she beat a very good player from Boise State who historically we have had trouble with. Tomorrow we have five players in main draw singles and four strong teams in main draw doubles, this is a very positive thing for our program. Tomorrow we have the doubles team of Erin Monson and Anastasia Putilina seeded at No. 4, and Anastasia is also seeded in singles play. We are really excited and looking forward to competing through the weekend."
