Wet weather affected, but didn't stop play in the first day of the Wyoming Cowgirl Invitational on Thursday at the UW Tennis Complex.
Other teams competing in the three-day invitational include Colorado State, Montana State, Northern Colorado and Weber State.
“It was a good start for us and we were able to play a good amount of tennis,” newly named UW head coach Kati Gyulai said. “Under the circumstances with the weather, I felt the players really battled through each match. We still have a lot of room for improvement, but we will work on those things the rest of the weekend and practice next week.”
In doubles play, the teams of Rebecca Berger and Sarah Summerfield, along with Brittney DeFelice and Carly Van Hollen had solid matches. Berger and Summerfield defeated Kirsten Stople and Tori Arneson (Colorado State), 8-4, and Tabatha Knop and Manuela Santos (Northern Colorado), 8-4. Unfortunately, they fell short 8-6 against the team of Laura Neal and Anette Pohjalainen. DeFelice and Van Hollen also won their first two matches, 8-6, over Tiffany Knop and Hannah La Forest of Northern Colorado and 8-5 against Stephanie Jasper and Missy Harris of Montana State. They too fell short with an 8-3 loss to McKenzie Hilmer and Ali Griffin of Montana State.
