LARAMIE, Wyo. - Nevada women's tennis came up just shy of its first Mountain West victory Sunday, but two three-sets victories by Colorado State sent the Pack to a 4-3 defeat.
The Pack (5-7, 0-6 MW) fought back from dropping the doubles point to get three singles wins from
Milka Genkova at No. 1,
Anastasia Luneva at No. 2, and
Selina Turulja at No. 5. Genkova rolled to a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Colorado State's Priscilla Palermo, while Turulja cruised to a 6-2, 6-2 win over Emma Corwin. Luneva grabbed a 6-3, 7-6 victory on court 2.
But Colorado State (2-4, 1-1 MW) would pull out two deciding results, each in three sets. At No. 4, Alyssa Grijalva outlasted Nevada's
Cristina Moll Alles, 6-1, 5-7, 7-5, while at No. 6, Anastasiia Kotsyuba defeated
Mathilde Sarcelet, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2.
Nevada next heads to Fresno for its final road weekend of conference play. There, the Pack will take on Boise State Saturday, April 17, and Utah State Sunday, April 18. Both duals are set for 10 a.m. first serves.
