ARLINGTON, Texas – The University of Houston Tennis program competed in Arlington, Texas, at the UTA Tennis Center on Saturday in its second road game of the weekend. The Cougars fell to the Mavericks, 4-3.
UT Arlington improved to 10-1 on the season with the win. The Cougars (6-6) now look to rebound at 1:30 p.m. Friday against Gonzaga from the Barbara Wallace Winston Tennis Facility.
The Cougars competed first in doubles play, followed by singles play. In the first doubles match, Maria Dzemeshkevich and Azul Pedemonti fell 6-3 to UTA's Momoka Horiguchi and Tara Gorinsek. Laura Slisane and Blanca Cortijo Parreno were defeated by Liz Chileno and Ana Paula Jimenez, 6-1.
