The women's tennis team wrapped up RMAC play Saturday with a 5-4 win over MSU-Billings. The Mustangs dropped their first 15 matches of the season but played strong this weekend, going 3-1 and finishing with a 3-3 conference record.
“The women came through with good success,” says head coach Erik Burton. “I liked the way they ladies fought this weekend. Even though the women had a tough season, no one will benefit from the extremely tough schedule more than the ladies will.”
The team has one more non-conference match this season, New Mexico State on April 20, before heading to Denver to play in the RMAC tournament.
