Miner Tennis Wraps Up UNLV Invitational
LAS VEGAS, Nv.– The UTEP tennis team grabbed two more wins on the final day of the UNLV Invitational on Sunday at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.
Erandi Martinez made quick work of NAU’s Worthy Goldman in straight sets, 6-0, 7-5, to notch a win in the consolation final in the No. 4 singles draw, marking the freshman’s second win in as many days.
Fellow freshman Alisa Morozova took down NAU’s Eleanor Millard in the No. 3 singles draw 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 for a seventh place finish at the Invite.
In the No. 2 singles draw, Maria Paula Medina fell to Leirene Granville of NAU in straight sets, 6-2, 6-0, while Milena Baigorria slipped up against Long Beach State’s Maren Helgo 7-6, 6-3 in the No. 4 singles seventh place match.
In the doubles matches, Medina and Baigorria were defeated by Boise State’s Anja Dokic and Lilian Poling 8-3 in the No. 1 draw’s seventh place match. The No. 2 doubles draw consolation final saw Martinez and Morozova lose a close one to NAU’s Granville and Cora Lynn Von Dungern 8-5.
“Today we again showed signs of improvement, it was better than yesterday,” first-year head coach Ivan Fernandez said. “We still have a lot of work to do, but I am confident we will get to where we want to be for the spring season.”
The Miners will now prep for another three-day tournament this weekend when they travel to San Diego, Calif., for the San Diego State University Invitational Sept. 29-Oct. 1.
