Montgomery, Ala.- The 51st-ranked University of Utah women's tennis team (5-7) downed 64th-ranked Auburn (2-7) on the final day of the Blue Gray National Tennis Classic Sunday. The 4-1 victory over the Tigers snapped the Utes' four match slide. Sophomore Paige Miles earned the match-clinching point with her 6-2, 6-4, win over Plamena Kurteva at the No. 5 singles spot.

"Today was a good bounce-back win over a ranked SEC team virtually on their home courts," said head coach Mat Iandolo.

In doubles play, senior Evgenia Kryuchkova and redshirt sophomore Lexi Provancha topped Kurteva and Paulina Schippers 8-4, at the No. 2 position. The duo of Miles and junior Anastasia Putilina defeated Olivia Bennett and Jacqueline Kasler at the No. 1 spot 8-4, to secure the doubles point for Utah.

The match between Utah's freshmen Sarah Pham and Lucia Kovarcikova and Auburn's Caroline Thornton and Taylor Schreimann at the No. 3 position was halted.

In singles play, 114th-ranked Putilina downed Schippers 6-3, 6-1, at the No. 1 spot, putting the Utes up 2-0 over the Tigers.

Pham fell to Bennett at the No. 3 position 6-1, 6-2, making the score 2-1.

Kryuchkova, ranked No. 59, topped Thornton at the No. 2 spot, 6-4, 6-3, giving Utah a 3-1 lead over Auburn.

Miles then clinched the match at 4-1, from the No. 5 position.

Kovarcikova was in her third set against Kasler at the No. 4 spot and Provancha was in her second against Taylor Cohen at the No. 6 position when the match was halted.

The Utes return to action March 21 against top-ranked Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif.
