ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- There was really no other ending that would have worked, is there? The lone senior in the program over a three-year span, the unquestioned leader of an entire team of underclassmen for a second straight year … that has the be the person to clinch Senior Day over your arch rival to finish off a perfect season.

There really was no other way, and on Friday afternoon, that Hollywood script went, well, as scripted. Ruth Copas, the only senior on the Lobo women's tennis team, was feted prior to the match, and then clinched a 5-2 victory on Senior Day with a comeback second-set win in a tiebreaker, 7-0 over Rebecca Keijzerwaard.
