After two days of rainy conditions, the sunshine was welcomed Saturday as the Cowgirls finished the University of Wyoming Invitational at the UW tennis Complex.
Saturday's nice weather enabled the six teams to catch up on the matches that were hampered by rain in the first two days of the tournament.
“I am pleased with the way we performed,” UW head coach Kati Gyulai said. “Newcomer Ronnie Spencer had a strong showing and I want to congratulate her. We look forward to getting back on the court and to improving before our next tournament.”
In singles play, Spencer came out and proved to be a strong member of the team. Spencer battled against her Montana State opponent, Andrea De La Torre, in three sets, 6-7, 6-2, 6-2 to earn a trip to the finals. Spencer then won the finals by default. The rest of the Cowgirls also finished strong as they competed for a spot in the finals. Sophomore Carly Van Hollen won her first match of the day earning a trip to the finals. Van Hollen then fell in the finals to Greer Satherlie (CSU) 6-3, 6-4. Sophomore Brittany DeFelice and junior Sarah Summerfield had another chance to play in the back draws. DeFelice defeated Markay Mullen (WSU) 6-0, 6-1. Summerfield was also successful, defeating Greyce Farias (WSU) 6-3, 6-3.
The tournament also finished the doubles brackets from Thursday. In the back draw doubles, Carolina Chaix and Spencer won their final match against Pyne and Mullen (WSU), winning 8-3. Jamie Nelson and Virginia Iwinksi also won their final match against Ciarvella and Whateley from UNC, 8-6. Rebecca Berger and Summerfield competed for third defeating another Wyoming doubles team, DeFelice and Van Hollen 8-0.
