LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – Host UNLV saw two players reach the semifinals but fall just short of playing in the championship matchup Saturday at the 2018 ITA Mountain Region Women's Tennis Championships at the Fertitta Tennis Complex on campus.

Members from 22 western teams are facing off as individuals this week on 12 courts each day in both singles and doubles.

In singles, Aiwen Zhu, seeded second and ranked 49th in the nation, advanced with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Emily Riedmiller of Denver but then lost a three-setter to NAU's Chiara Tomasetti, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. Fellow Rebel senior Anna Bogoslavets upset sixth-seeded Brianna Chisholm of Utah 6-3, 6-2 before falling in a heart-breaker to Denver's Arisha Ladhani, 1-6, 7-5, 7-5.
