EL PASO, Texas - The UTEP women's tennis team won its first Conference USA match of the season, defeating UTSA, 4-3, on Sunday afternoon at the El Paso Tennis & Swim Club.
Senior caption Davina Meza was also honored, as the day was dubbed "Davina Day". UTEP also improves to 5-1 in the Sun City this spring.
"It's definitely a great feeling to finish the weekend off with a win against a very tough UTSA team," first-year head coach Cristina Moros said. "After being within three points of a victory against Wisconsin (on Feb. 27), we have talked a lot about owing the key moments of the match. We are doing a great job of that in certain positions and need to get better in others."
The Miners (6-2, 1-0 C-USA) took an early 1-0 advantage on the Roadrunners (6-4, 0-1) by winning the doubles point.
Meza and Duda Santos dominated Nicole Karaklis and S. Madroñal Medina 6-0 on the no. 1 doubles court. The Netherlands Connection of Daphne Visscher and Lois Wagenvoort clinched the point by besting Lina Hallgren and Daniela Garcia-Diaz, 6-2, at the no. 3 position.
"It is nice to see Duda and Davina really start to show what they are capable of in both singles and doubles," Moros said.
The duo of Meza-Santos improved to 6-1 during dual match doubles play - all on the no. 1 court.
Matilda Tench commenced the singles success by dropping Madroñal Medina, 6-2, 6-0, at the no. 6 spot. Meza put the Miners up 3-0 with a convincing, 6-3, 6-2, victory over Jacobea Junger on the no. 1 court. Santos clinched the overall triumph with a, 6-3, 6-4, win over Karaklis.
"There is no doubt we are improving as a team, and we need to keep making small important adjustments to play our toughest as we transition to the mid and last parts of our season," Moros added.
