Northern Road Trip Proves Fruitful for UNK

Kearney, Neb. – The Nebraska-Kearney women's tennis team rolled this weekend up North, sweeping Sioux Falls and Concordia (MN) College and beating Minnesota State-Moorhead by a 6-1 score.

UNK (5-1) will not have a countable dual again until the winter. The Lopers face Northwest Missouri State in an exhibition match on Tuesday, October, 1, and closes out fall with the ITA Regionals Oct. 4-6 in Oklahoma. 

In Moorhead, Minn., on Saturday the Lopers first beat the MSUM Dragons before sweeping the Concordia Cobbers. Winning at one and three doubles against Moorhead, UNK saw junior newcomer Anastasia Kuzevanova (Czech Republic) rally past Rachel Nguyen to win at number three singles (2-6, 6-2, 10-5) as did Papillion junior Claire Neil at number six (6-3, 1-6, 10-4).

Things were easier in the afternoon against the D3 Cobbers. UNK lost just four points in doubles and then swept all six singles matches. Lincoln sophomore Fidan Ibrahimova won 6-0, 6-0 at number two with Kansas freshman Brooklyn Hunter (No. 3) and Kuzevanova (No. 1) winning 6-1, 6-0 in their respective matches.

Finally, Kearney dominated the USF Cougars early Sunday morning in a dual that was moved indoors due to inclement weather. Ibrahimova and freshman Trang Tran (Germany) blanked their number two doubles foes with the Lopers not dropping a set in singles. That included Tran winning 6-0, 6-2, over Lexi Miller at the second spot in the lineup.

This year's ITA Central Regional will be hosted by Central Oklahoma in Edmond Oct. 4-6. Winners in the singles and doubles bracket advance to the Oracle ITA National Fall Championships Nov. 6-10 in Newport Beach, Calif.
