Miners’ Tennis drops two matchups at home
Playing on back to back days, the UTEP tennis team lost matches to the Abilene Christian University (ACU) Wild Cats and the New Mexico Lobos. Neither match turned out to be close as they only scored one point in each.
On Saturday, UTEP fought gamely stretching out a trio of singles matches to three sets while coming up short in all of them versus the Wild Cats. In the doubles opening matches, the Miners lost all three sets and started off in a 1-0 hole as singles play began.
The No. 1 doubles team of senior Vanessa Valdez and junior Maria Aviega were very competitive in their set 7-6, but the rest of doubles matches were one-sided affairs.
