BOISE, Idaho (UNLVRebels.com) – Forced to play indoors all weekend because of bad weather in Idaho, the UNLV women's tennis team shook off yesterday's loss to blank Utah State 4-0 on Sunday in a neutral-site matchup at Boise State's Boas Tennis Center.
 
The Rebels improved to 11-2 overall and 3-1 in the Mountain West while the Aggies fell to 5-9 and 0-4.
 
UNLV emerged from a battle in doubles play to earn a 1-0 lead. Cindy Hu and Coco Zhao breezed, 6-1, at the second position but after falling at the top of the lineup, the Rebels took a 7-5 clincher on court three thanks to Zita Kovacs and Nina Zdravkovic.
 
In singles, UNLV picked up a trio of straight-set wins to close things. Kovacs won 6-2, 6-4 over Lisa Kung at No. 2; Hu downed Magdalena Nunez, 6-4, 6-2, at No. 4; and Zhao swept Eugenio De Hilario, 6-3, 6-3, on court five.
 
UP NEXT: UNLV will continue on the road with a rare visit to Wyoming on Friday at 9 am PT.
