10/23/2019 8:20 PM | Women's Tennis
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The University of Utah women's tennis team went undefeated today in both doubles and singles, as they have completed day one of action at the ITA Regional Championships. Wednesday's action consisted of the round of 64 doubles and the round of 64 singles at the Fertitta Tennis Complex on the UNLV campus.
Â
In doubles, the duo of Madison Tattini and Whitney Hekking were seeded sixth in the doubles flight and they faced off against Kuo and Swift from Air Force. Tattini and Hekking worked their way towards an 8-5 victory to advance in the bracket. Madeline Lamoreaux and Lindsay Hung were then matched up against Oosterbaan and Reguant from Montana and came away with a dominant win of 8-1. Both Utah duos will advance to the round of 32 doubles with play continuing tomorrow.
Â
Tattini came into the singles bracket as the fifth seed and matched up against Danielle Quevedo from New Mexico, tabbing a 6-2, 6-3 win. Lamoreaux then faced off against Idaho's Laura Spataro and battled in a competitive three-set match. Lamoreaux took the first set 6-4, but went on to come up just short in the second 6-7. The battle continued in the third set, but Lamoreaux picked up the win after taking the third set, 7-6.Â
Continuing off of her success at the SDSU Fall Classic, Hung was able to notch a first-round victory against Yue Lin Chen from New Mexico, with a quick 6-3, 6-3 victory. To then cap off the perfect day for Utah, Whitney Hekking was able to go up on Air Force's Meredith Jones, 7-6, 5-5, before Jones retired from the match to give Hekking the round of 64 win.
Â
Both Ute pairs and four singles will move on in both brackets, and play tomorrow during the round of 32 doubles and round of 32 singles action beginning at 9 a.m. PT. Consolation doubles will also be played, followed by the round of 16 singles to end the day. A recap of tomorrow's competition will be made available at UtahUtes.com once Thursday's action has concluded.
