EL PASO, Texas - The UTEP women's tennis team battled, but lost a hard-fought match to Big10 program Wisconsin, 5-2, on Friday afternoon at the El Paso Tennis & Swim Club.
The Miners (4-2) got off to a good start, as Davina Meza and Dude Santos took down Kelsey Grambeau and Lauren Burich, 8-2, on the no. 1 doubles court. But the Badgers (5-2) took the next two matches to claim the early advantage, 1-0. Sydney Rider and Ekaterina Stepanova slipped by Daphne Visscher and Lois Wagenvoort, 8-6, while Matilda Tench and Jeannez Daniel came up short, losing 8-5 to Lauren Chypyha and Maria Avgerinos. Tench and Daniel found themselves down, 6-1, at one point and rallied to make it interesting, but Wisconsin was too much for the duo.
Santos, on the no. 3 singles court, tied the match at 1-1 when the sophomore cruised past Rider, 6-1, 6-0. Grambeau defeated Tench, 6-2, 6-1, on the no. 5 court, while Visscher fell, 6-1, 6-1, to Stepanova at no. 6, giving Wisconsin a 3-1 advantage.
The Badgers wrapped up the match when Burich beat Wagenvoort, 2-6, 7-6 (6), 6-2 at the no. 4 position. Daniel won her match, 6-2, 5-7, 6-4, on the no. 2 court.
