TUCSON, Ariz. –The 38th ranked University of Utah women's tennis team was unable to come away with a victory earlier today, as they finished off their road trip with a loss against the University of Arizona. Dropping the match to the Wildcats with a score of 1-4, the Utes will now move to an overall record of 10-5 on the season, and are 1-3 in Pac-12 conference play.
Â
"We did a very poor job of being the 'better' team today and got outcompeted," said head coach Mat Iandolo. "This is a match we need to learn from if we are going to make a run in the last quarter of the year."
Â
The Utes were able to start the day off strong by earning the doubles point against Arizona. On court No. 2, Whitney Hekking and Leah Heimuli were able to record a victory against Camila Wesbrooks and Gitte Heyneman, with a final score of 6-3. Lindsay Hung and Emily Dush then put in a win off their own at the No. 3 position, defeating Tayla Zandberg and Csenge Furak with a score of 6-3, to give the Utes the 1-0 lead going into singles.Â
In singles, the Utes then lost four straight matches on the 2, 3, 4, and 6 courts, allowing the Wildcats to secure the match with a score of 1-4. The University of Utah women's tennis team will be back in action next Sunday, March 31st, as they will host the University of Oregon in a home match at the Eccles Tennis Center. Competition against the Ducks is set to start at 11:30 a.m. MT.Â
