UTE NOTES:
The men's tennis team is looking to rebound after a loss to New Mexico (4-1) at the National Indoor Region Qualifier held last weekend in Boise, Idaho. Utah's Jason Smits was the only one to pull out a win in the contest. The Ute sophomore played at the No. 5 slot against Miles Bugby for a 6-2, 6-2 victory.

Weber State is currently 0-4 this season. The Wildcats have faced Idaho (L, 4-2), Portland (L, 7-0), Oregon (L, 6-1), and No. 68 BYU (L, 4-3). In the match against BYU, the Wildcat's Henning Hipp played at the No. 2 slot against Evan Urbina from the Cougars squad. Hipp pulled out a big win over the Cougar 5-7, 6-3, 7-6. In last year's dual match on Jan 27, 2007, the Utes walked away with a 5-2 win.
Utah State is 1-2 thus far in the season with a win over Montana State- Bozeman (4-3) last week. The Aggies earned the doubles point against the Grizzlies to get things started. In singles play, Jacob Asplund defeated MSU's Kyle McDonald at the No. 1 slot 7-6 (7-4), 6-1. Utah State has also faced BYU (L, 5-2) and No. 22 Boise State (L, 6-1).

QUOTE FROM ASSISTANT COACH Roeland Brateanu:
"After a tough weekend, we have an opportunity to set things right against two in-state opponents. Both teams have already started their regular season and they are coming here with nothing to lose and everything to gain. We need to be ready for two emotionally charged teams."
