SAN DIEGO (UNLVRebels.com) – The UNLV women's tennis team did not lose even a set en route to shutting out in-state rival UNR, 4-0, Saturday afternoon at the Aztec Tennis Center.
Â
In prevailing at the neutral-site matchup that opened Mountain West play for both schools, the Rebels also earned three points in the Silver State Series presented by IBEW and Nevada Donor Network.
Â
UNLV won its third straight outing to improve to 5-4 overall and 1-0 in the league while the Wolf Pack fell to 5-2 and 0-1.
Â
The Rebels opened the day by taking the first two completed doubles matches for a 1-0 lead. In singles, it was the bottom of the lineup that put in the quickest work as UNLV notched points on courts three, five and six to end things.
Â
REBEL OF THE MATCH: Freshman Aura Fang teamed with fellow-rookie Zita Kovacs to post a 6-0 win at No. 3 doubles and then in singles clinched the team victory with a 6-2, 6-0 triumph over Mathilde Sarcelet at the sixth position.
Â
QUOTABLE: "This was a great way to start conference play. UNR is always tough to beat but our team really came out to play today up and down the lineup."
--UNLV Head Coach Kevin Cory
Â
NEXT FOR THE REBELS:Â UNLV will continue Mountain West play by meeting Fresno State in San Diego on Sunday starting at noon.
