LAS VEGAS - The UNLV women's tennis team won its sixth consecutive match with a 5-2 handling of Ohio State at the Fertitta Tennis Complex on Tuesday.

The 46th-ranked Lady Rebels (10-3) swept all but one of their singles matches in two sets against the 42nd-ranked Buckeyes (6-7), but dropped the doubles team point, as OSU won the top two courts.

UNLV's Cindy Treber and Mery Constanti were both perfect on the day, joining together for the Lady Rebels' only doubles win at Court Three, then finishing off their singles respective opponents in two sets.
