Silver City, NM – The Western New Mexico University Men's and Women's tennis team played Sul Ross State this afternoon. Both the men and women went on to win 7-0.

"Knowing there was going to be strong wind today, we preached high first serve percentage and quality returns. We did just that and the results showed," said Head Coach Alex Hunt. 

Women's Match:

In doubles, the Mustangs secured the point winning at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles. No. 3 doubles was won on a forfeit as the SRSU only had four players. Duos tandems, Julia Terrazas (Santa Cruz, Bolivia/Saint George HS) and Massiel Paredes (Lima, Peru/Pamer HS), and Caini  Wang and Nicold Gonzalez (Bogota, Colombia) won 6-0.
