LAS VEGAS, NEV. —The University of New Mexico finished a long and hot day at the 2010 USTA/Intercollegiate Tennis Association Mountain Region Championships at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.
Freshman, Michaela Bezdickova had a very successful run but lost today in the quarterfinals to a Boise State player. She is looking to be a key player for the Lobos this season and have a major impact on the team.
Coach Roy Canada felt day three really showed the Mountain West Conference what the Lobos have to offer this year.
” This was our third 12 hour day here at Las Vegas,” Canada said. “A very grueling, hot and gritty day of tennis for us. I am proud at the improvement we have accomplished so far and the fact that we have proven in this tournament that we are one of the teams to be reckoned with in our region. It is worthy of mention that Misa had a great run losing on the quarters today, a result we had not had at this tournament since Ola had her amazing run a few years back. It is great for our program to have a freshman having such an impact already. The rest of the team has also made serious strides by putting together several wins for the weekend.”
Three matches will be finished in singles consolation action tomorrow.
