WNMU's No. 1 and 2 doubles teams battled to the end against Grand Canyon University Thursday morning but came up just short. Both pairs dropped their match, 8-6. From there, the WNMU momentum took a downward spiral. The Lopes marked the 8-0 victory.

In singles play, Emily Lampman (Kerrville, TX, Tivy High School) and Vanessa Molina (El Paso, TX, Franklin High School, Tyler Junior College) dropped their first set, 7-5, but neither could continue their strong play in the second set. Lampman, in the fourth position, fell to Kaila Knopf, 6-2. At No. 6, Molina posted a score of 6-3 against Ali Brackey in the second set.

“We were nervous in the beginning and couldn't shake off the nerves,” says assistant head coach Carolina Hannes. “We play them next week so we hope we can bounce back.”
