SALT LAKE CITY - University of Utah's No. 1 singles player Megan Payne continued her assault on nationally ranked foes by pounding the 1997 NCAA runner-up, MC White, 7-6, 6- 2, from the nation's #1 ranked team the University of Florida, at the Eccles Tennis Center. On Friday, Payne started off on a good note, defeating the 35th ranked player from Northwestern, Katherine Nasser, 7-6, 4-6, 6-3. White finished the 1998 season ranked No. 39. Payne improved to 6-0 on the young season.
Although the Gators chomped the Utes as a whole on Saturday, 8-1, Utah Head Coach John Tsumas couldn't say enough about Payne's effort.
"Megan was phenomenal today. The caliber of win this was for her and our program is awesome," said Coach Tsumas. "I am pleased with our effort the past two days, we gained some valuable big match experience."
