SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah's women's tennis team finishes with another impressive victory over Air Force, 4-3. Air Force was the Utes first conference match of the season. This win put Utah 1-0 in conference play and improved their season record to 2-0.
In singles action, freshman Ellen Svensson finished on top after a grueling match with Air Force's Laura Nigro. Svennson defeated Nigro, 5-7, 6-2, 7-6. Utah's Sheri Esrock defeated Gina Black, 6-1, 6-0. Cassie Kasteler swept by Kelli O'Bryant, 6-0, 6-0. Freshman Allison Hansen defeated Kristen Jones, 6-1, 6-1. Hilary Doyle also finished strong after defeating Miclynn Crail, 8-4.
In doubles action, Ronnberg and Esrock were victorious over O'Bryant and Crail, 8-2. Svenssen and Kasteler had their problems as they fell to Brooke Parsons and Nigro, 8-3. Hansen and Kotoglou couldn't quite finish it out as they were defeated by Heather Shelby and Black, 8-6.
The Utes will resume play Friday, Jan. 25 at 5:00 p.m. This regular season match will be against in-state rival Weber State.
