LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – The UNLV women's tennis team won two matches – both by the score of 4-0 – on a blustery Saturday at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.
The Rebels improved to 5-2 overall and 3-0 at home after downing UTEP in the morning match and Weber State later in the day.
Against the Miners, UNLV won two of three doubles matches to earn a 1-0 lead and then took the first three completed singles matches to end it.
Facing the Wildcats in the afternoon, the hosts took two doubles matches and then breezed to three more points in singles with all straight-set wins.
REBEL OF THE DAY: En-Pei Huang rolled to a 4-0 mark in singles and doubles Saturday, winning a pair with her partner
Aiwen Zhu at the top of the lineup and then losing a total of just three games in her two singles victories at the No. 4 position.
QUOTABLE: "This was a good weekend for the Rebels. The conditions were tough today with the wind and cold but we were able to play through it and get two solid wins."
-UNLV Head Coach Kevin Cory
