Wildcats Win One of Three in Cali

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. -- The Weber State women's tennis team went 1-2 over the weekend as they made a three-match road swing to Northern California.

The Wildcats were swept 7-0 to start, and end, the trip, falling to both UC Davis and Sacramento State. WSU picked up its lone win on Saturday with a 4-3 win over Sonoma State.

"That was a tight match for us, which was good," said WSU head coach Jonas Ehrlin. "We've been coming up short on close ones lately and it was good for us to finally get one. We didn't play very well in doubles, but the team came out firing in singles and we were able to get the four matches we needed to win."

Greyce Farias got things going for the 'Cats with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Haley Hickock at No. 2 singles. Elsje Beneke then downed Jeanette Peck 6-3, 6-0 at No. 3, and Kassia Adamson defeated Stephanie Hoffmire 6-1, 7-5 at No. 5. The match came down to Brittiny Moore at No. 4 singles, who lost the opening set 6-4, and fell behind 5-3 in the second, before rallying to win the final two sets 7-5 and 6-1.

The Wildcats will contend their next three matches at home as they face a trio of Big Sky opponents. WSU will take on Northern Colorado on Apr. 3, Northern Arizona on Apr. 4 and Idaho State on Apr. 6.
