LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The 35th-ranked UNLV women's tennis team completed a perfect 4-0 weekend with a 7-0 shutout of UC Riverside late Sunday at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.

The Lady Rebels, who downed Wichita State 5-1 earlier in the day, improved to 8-1 with what was their fifth consecutive victory.

The hosts swept three doubles matches to begin the day, including 8-0 scores on courts two and three.

In singles play, 68th-ranked Lucia Batta swept Taylor Raney 6-2, 6-1 to improve her freshman record to 18-3.

"I was impressed with how the girls competed this weekend," said UNLV head coach Kevin Cory. "Wichita State is a very good team and we really picked up our level of play. This gives us some solid momentum heading into a tough roadtrip."

UNLV is next in action on March 4 when it travels to Fresno State.
