LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The 35th-ranked UNLV women's tennis team waited out the morning desert rains and then coolly defeated No. 61 Wichita State 5-1 in the first of their two matches at the Fertitta Tennis Complex on Sunday.
The Lady Rebels, who will play UC Riverside later in the day, improved to 7-1 while the Shockers fell to 5-4 overall. Because the wet courts forced a late start, the teams began with singles play and ultimately canceled doubles.
At the top of the lineup, 68th-ranked Lucia Batta swept Lutfiana Budiharto 6-4, 6-2 to improve her freshman record to 17-3. Fellow rookie Aleksandra Josifoska won 6-3, 6-1 over Rahaela Zotter at No. 2; Nives Pavloic won 6-2, 6-3 over Veronika Blaskova at No. 3; Adrienn Hidvegi won 7-5, 7-5 over Carla Venticinque at No. 4; and Anna Maskaljun rallied past Montse Blasco-Fernandez 0-6, 6-2, 6-1 on court six.
