About the Utes:
Utah snapped a six-match losing skid by crushing No. 58 UC-Irvine, 5-2, Feb. 26.
Utah opened the match by crushing the Anteaters to earn the doubles point, and never looked back. Heidi Thomas and Frida Kareld continued their doubles success, beating Amy Tranckino and Natalie Exon at No. 2, 8-2. The point was awarded after Linn Ronnberg and Sheri Esrock put on an 8-2 shellacking of Nickole Kabe and Antonella Castro at No. 3.
Cassie Kasteler went three-sets, dominating the third at No. 2 singles, in the closest match Utah would play on the afternoon. She upended Exon, 6-4, 2-6, 6-0. Esrock won in straight sets at No. 4 over Tranckino, 6-4, 7-6. Kareld followed suit with a 6-3, 6-0 win at No. 5 over Castro. Thomas made quick work of Mindy Gondrez at No. 6, 6-2, 6-0.
