LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico women's tennis team dropped its first match at home to Houston on a windy Sunday morning at the NM State Tennis Center.
The visiting Cougars got on the board first, taking court No. 3 in doubles action. The Aggie No. 2 doubles tandem of Vanesa Valdez and Rebecca Keijzerwaard knotted things up when they defeated their counterparts 6-2. Houston took the doubles point moments later when Rimpledeep Kaur and Gabrielle Joyce fell 6-4 on court No. 1.
Singles action didn't bode well for NM State as it dropped the first set on all six courts before Lauren Alter defeated Eli Arnaudova 6-3, 6-4.
