Pullman, Wash.- The 62nd-ranked University of Utah women's tennis team (1-0) defeated Washington State (2-2) by a score of 5-2, Saturday at the Simmelink Tennis Courts. Junior Evgenia Kryuchkova clinched the match for the Utes from the No. 4 singles position by defeating Knesia Googe, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (8).

"This is a great way to open the dual match season," said head coach Mat Iandolo. "Washington State is going to be a very good team. I expect them to be ranked before too long and as the year goes on this win will look better and better."

In doubles play, sophomore Anastasia Putilina and freshman Paige Miles defeated Marina Nicolas and Andjela Kankaras at the No. 2 spot, 8-1. Seniors Erin Monson and Andrea Maughan secured the doubles point for Utah from the No. 1 position by defeating Liudmila and Elisabeth Fournier, 8-4. Kryuchkova and sophomore Lisa Johnson fell at the No. 3 position, 7-6(4) to Jessica Gomez and Googe.

In singles play Miles downed Nicolas, 6-2, 6-2, at the No. 3 spot to give the Utes a 2-0 lead. Monson fell in a three-set match to Fournier at the No. 2 position, 6-1, 3-6, 6-2, making the score, 2-1, in favor of Utah.

Putilina duked it out against Vasieleva in a three set match at the No. 1 spot, winning the first set, 7-6(5), falling in the second, 4-6, and winning the third, 6-4, setting Kryuchkova up to clinch the match.

Johnson defeated Jackie Owens at the No. 6 position, 6-2, 6-2, and Maughan fell in a three-set match at the No. 5 spot to Kankaras, 6-1, 6-7(2), (10-7), making the final score 5-2.
