BEAUMONT, Texas - Survive and advance? More like dominate and advance.
Avoiding any potential upset-related drama, the second-seeded NM State women's tennis team dictated things from the first serve and earned a 4-0 shutout win over seventh-seeded Chicago State in the quarterfinal round of the WAC Tournament Friday afternoon at the Beaumont Municipal Tennis Center.
DOUBLES
• One of the best doubles pairing in the WAC got things started for the higher-seeded team. Chloe Gavino and Lisa Zhu, who were named to the All-WAC Doubles First Team on Wednesday afternoon, played near-flawless tennis to make quick work of the Cougars' top-line duo of Katarina Drazic and Lizi Morgoshia.
