Pair Of Rebels Remain In Singles At Regional

PROVO, Utah (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV saw two players advance in singles during Wednesday's second day of the 2026 ITA Mountain Region Women's Tennis Championship on the campuses of BYU and Utah.

Representatives from 20 schools are on hand for the event, which runs through Saturday. Inclement weather has pushed all early action indoors and to alternate sites.

Fifth-seeded Nikol Mircheva had no trouble with her first match, downing Utah State's Tia Clemens, 6-0, 6-1. Sofiia Sokolvak, who won her way in through prequalifying, downed Kara Garcia of Utah, 6-4, 5-7, 6-3.

In doubles, Mircheva and Hudson Hawkins, seeded first, enjoyed a first-round bye while Sokolvak and Kaho Oyama gritted out an 8-7 (5) win over Clemons and Natalie Paterova of Utah State to move into Thursday's Round of 32.
