A 7-0 loss to Washington State Saturday didn’t stop the Idaho women’s tennis team from bringing the pressure in the team’s next match.
In Sunday’s Big Sky Conference season opener, the Vandals rallied from losing two doubles matches to defeat Montana State 5-2 in Pullman, Washington.
Sophomore Lucia Badillos clinched Idaho’s conference opener with a triumphant two set win (6-2, 6-2) over Shelby Cerkovnik on the No. 5 court.
Idaho won five out of their six singles matches.
Idaho coach Mariana Cobra said the team’s competitiveness was shown in Sunday’s win.
“We showed our toughness today,” Cobra said.
