LAS VEGAS, NEV. — The University of New Mexico’s women tennis team wrapped up another long and strong day of play at the 2010 USTA/Intercollegiate Tennis Association Mountain Region Championships at the Fertitta Tennis Complex on Thursday. Singles action continued, while doubles action began yesterday.
In singles main draw Michaela Bezdickova defeated the seventh seed Aleksandra Josifoska from UNLV. Amy Shipperd came back with revenge to take down New Mexico State’s Salum.
Lobos were successful in doubles contest with Shipperd/Bezdickova winning the first two rounds of the day. Ashley Bonner / Nikolina Grbac and Anya Villanueva / Laura Richardson won their first round of matches.
“A very successful day for us with nine very solid wins in this very prestigious tournament,” Coach Roy Canada said. “A special mention for Misa(Michaela Bezdickova) who defeated the seventh seed and Amy who defeated Salum of NMSU to whom she had previously lost this fall. Getting three doubles teams through the first round was a great result for us giving us great confidence. Misa is in the fourth round of singles and the third round of doubles both in the main draw making it a great accomplishment specially as a freshman”.
The tournament continues on through Friday and finals will be played on Saturday.
