Utes Back on the Road to Face New Mexico
2/26/2018 3:06 PM | Women's Tennis
SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah women's tennis team will be back in action this Friday, as they will make a trip down to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to take on the University of New Mexico (1-2). The match against the Lobos is set to begin at 1 p.m. MST at the Lobo Tennis Club.
"We are looking forward to heading to Albuquerque and competing against another regional rival," said head coach Mat Iandolo. "This team happens to be coached by a young woman (Stephanie Wooten-Quijada) who was a great player on a few of my very good Purdue teams."
Utah Notes
The Utes are coming off of a weekend at the Blue Gray Tennis Classic, where they fell to the University of Alabama in the first round of the tournament, 4-3. After the loss, they then moved onto the consolidation rounds, where they faced off against UAB in the second round of the tournament, beating them out with a score of 4-1. They then moved onto the consolidation final against the University of Denver, dropping the match to the Pioneers with a score of 4-0. Against Denver, the Pioneers went up early by earning the doubles point. Brianna Chisholm and Margo Pletcher were edged out at the No. 1 spot by Denver's Julia O'Loughlin and Bianca Mok, with a score of 6-2. Camille Verden-Anderson and Gracia Mboko then secured the doubles point for Denver by defeating Alexia Petrovic and Jena Cheng at the No. 2 position, with a final score of 6-4. In singles, Petrovic and Cheng both went to three sets against their opponents, but play was cut short when Denver secured the 4-0 victory over the Utes. With this loss, the University of Utah women's tennis team moves to 7-3 overall on the season.
Opponent Notes
For a second straight match since returning to action after missing two weeks of action due to a car accident, The University of New Mexico women's tennis team had a match come down to the final singles flight. For the second straight time, UNM came out on the wrong side of a 4-3 decision. UNM opened the match down 1-0 as the team was swept in doubles, with Natasha Munday and Ruth Copas falling at No. 1 and Ruth Copas and Hsiang-Wen "Albie" Huang both losing 6-1. At No. 3, Diana Wong and Bronte Murgett forced a tiebreaker but fell 7-6. Wong rebounded and ended her three-match losing skid with a 6-1, 1-6, 6-4 win at No. 3 singles. However, ACU went up 3-1 with wins at No. 1 and No. 2 singles as the matches were held in ACU's Teague Events Center, where there are just three courts. Copas lost 6-3, 7-5 at No. 1 and Quevedo, playing in her home state, lost 7-5, 7-6 (7-4). The bottom three flights then took the courts with UNM needing the sweep, and they almost got it. Murgett won again, improving to 3-1 in the Spring, with a 6-2, 6-3 win, and right behind her was Huang, who took a 6-4, 6-2 win at No. 5, tying the match at 3-3. That left things up to Chen, but she fell 6-3, 6-2, giving the win to Abilene Christian.
