LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – The UNLV women's tennis team posted its third shutout of the weekend, 4-0, over New Mexico State on a gorgeous Sunday at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.
 
The Rebels, who finished this trio of matches with a combined score of 18-0, improved to 7-2 with their fourth win overall while the Aggies fell to 4-7.
 
UNLV remained undefeated in doubles this season but it came after some high drama on the sun-baked courts. NMSU won the match on court three and the Rebel duo of Nikol Mircheva and Hudson Hawkins downed Anna Pinaieva and Nadia Nemeth, 6-3, at the top spot. At the second position, UNLV's Veronika Kliuch and Eszter Kis-Czako trailed 5-2 at one point but ended up forcing a tiebreaker vs. Anna Klimova and Mo Parkinson-Lubold before winning it 8-6 to secure the team point.
 
In singles play, Sofiia Sokolvak swept Nadia Nemeth, 6-3, 6-0, at No. 6; Mircheva finished off Whitney Moon, 6-1, 6-4, at No. 2; and Kliuch rallied to win a first-set tiebreaker vs. Pinaieva at the top of the lineup before the Aggie player retired with an injury. It marked Kliuch's 12th-consecutive victory in singles as the sophomore improved to 16-2 overall and 9-0 in dual matches.
 
REBEL OF THE MATCH: Nikol Mircheva helped secure yet another doubles point and then took care of business in singles to up her record to 7-2 in duals this season.
 
UP NEXT: UNLV opens up Mountain West play by leaving Las Vegas for the first time this season, visiting New Mexico on Friday starting at 11 a.m. PT.
