Albuquerque, N.M. – On the outdoor courts of the Lobo Tennis Club the 73rd ranked New Mexico Lobos earned their second win and second shutout of the weekend with a 7-0 win over the Wyoming Cowgirls today.
The Lobos were off to a good start winning the first two doubles sets at the No. 1 and 2 positions. Ola Abou-Zekry and Jennifer Ryba teamed up again at the No. 2 spot for an 8-3 win over Michelle Brown and Corina Lazar to start off the day. Sandra Zmak and Lucy Scott played as a duo at the No. 1 spot and won the doubles point for the day in an 8-5 victory over Andrea House and Karolina Rowinski.
At the No. 3 position the Lobos and the Cowgirls were in a tight battle with Wyoming up 6-7 when Sarah Summerfield of the Cowgirls almost had a repeat injury of Lobo senior Iva Gersic. Summerfield was going for a ball at the same time as partner Jamie Nelson. As she was reaching for the ball her feet stopped but her body continued to move as she fell to the ground and ended the match due to knee injury giving the Lobos their third doubles win (8-7).
In singles actions the Lobos never backed down and took all six matches in only two sets each. Quintal was the first off the court for the first time this season with an easy 6-0, 6-1 match over House at the No. 4 spot. Playing No. 1 singles for the day was Abou-Zekry who took her match 6-2, 6-1 over Rowinski. The wins continued to roll in with Mackenzie White taking a fast 6-1, 6-1 over Brown, Ryba in a 6-2, 6-2 match-up against Carolina Chaix and Zmak holding off Lazar 6-2, 6-4. Lucy Scott rounded out the singles wins in a 6-4, 6-4 match over Nelson.
Sunday is the last day of the Lobos regular season and the final New Mexico home match. The team will be honoring the four seniors on the team as they take on Air Force at 1:00 p.m. Come out and honor the seniors and celebrate with the team as they prepare for the Mountain West Conference Tournament.
