Leading up to the fall season we will be getting an update on what some of the New Mexico women’s tennis players are up to. This week we caught up with Junior Emily Olivier.
Emily last season played both number one and number two singles for the Lobos as UNM won its first Mountain West Conference title. Emily was named All-Mountain West as well as she went 6-3 in conference. Her 20 singles wins were the second-most on the team. In doubles, she formed an unlikely but highly effective doubles partnership with the diminutive Sharon Coone, going 4-1 together. Overall Emily’s 13 doubles wins led the team.
