Kearney, Neb. – The Nebraska-Kearney women's tennis team dominated double and rallied for two singles wins to down Newman, 6-1, Sunday evening in Wichita.

This was the regular season finale for both teams. With the win, the Lopers (6-12, 3-5 MIAA) secure the sixth and final spot in next weekend's MIAA Tournament in Edmond, Okla. UNK will face third-seed Northwest Missouri State at 9 a.m. on Friday. The Bearcats (10-6, 6-2) edged the Lopers, 4-3, at Harmon Park earlier this month.

Facing the NU Jets (9-8, 2-6) for just the second time in program history, UNK grabbed a 1-0 lead by allowing just four points in doubles. Kearney now has 24 doubles wins on the spring with each pair having at least seven victories.

UNK won in straight sets at three, four and six singles to secure the team win. To finish the weekend in style, Papillion senior Claire Neil rallied from a 9-8 deficit in the third set to best Mirella Cavalcanti (6-2, 2-6, 11-9) at number five with Mexican freshman Jazmin Zamorano getting by Isabela Campos (4-6, 6-2, 6-4) from the second spot in the order. The lefty now has a team-best nine singles wins and finished up 6-2 in league play.
