Albuquerque, N.M. (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV will see two senior players compete in Saturday's quarterfinals as half of the Rebels advanced with singles wins on Friday at the 2016 USTA/ITA Mountain Region Championships being played at New Mexico's McKinnon Family Tennis Stadium.

Paola Artiga, seeded 17-32, rolled past Arisha Ladhani of Denver, 6-1, 6-2, and top-seeded and 103rd-ranked Carol Yang swept Chiara Tomasetti of NAU, 6-4, 6-2.

Two UNLV sophomores saw their run end at the event as Aiwen Zhu, seeded seventh, was upset by Air Force's Chloe Forlini, in a three-set marathon, 7-5, 5-7, 7-6.

Also, Anna Bogoslavets, seeded 13th, lost for only the second as a Rebel, being swept by eighth-seeded Margo Fletcher of Utah, 6-2, 6-2. It snapped Bogoslavets' 26-match winning streak, which was the second-longest in UNLV history behind only Lucia Batta's 28-match streak in 2013.

In doubles play Friday, UNLV's fourth-seeded tandem of Yang and Zhu won its first match of the day but then fell in the quarterfinals.

Members from 16 western teams are facing off as individuals through Sunday each day in both singles and doubles. This is one of 24 USTA/ITA Regional Championships for NCAA Division I men and women taking place over these middle two weekends of October at campuses throughout the country. The singles and doubles champions will advance to the 2016 USTA/ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, taking place November 3-6, at the indoor facilities at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, located in Flushing, N.Y.
