The University of Montana women's tennis team went 2-1 last weekend at the Boise Invitational in round-robin play with Weber State and Lewis and Clark State College.
Montana extended its record to 7-4 on the season and had a standout performance from freshman Erin Cooney.
"Erin Cooney had a really strong weekend in singles going 3-0," said UM head tennis coach Kris Nord.
Cooney, who plays in the sixth position on UM's ladder, beat Weber State's Karla Pretorius 6-4 and 6-1 in straight sets. She beat LCSC's Sonam Youngchen by the same scores. Cooney then beat Boise State's Laurie Chang 6-4, 6-4 to put an exclamation point on her singles play.
UM also had a fair amount of success in doubles play against Weber State, sweeping the Wildcats in all three matches.
The combination of Misa Zima and Kate Kohlschreiber won their match 9-8. The second team in the doubles ladder, Annabelle Janairo and Lindsay Torgerson, won their match 8-5 and the last duo of Ashild Fjeldheim and Jonna Schwartz won their match 8-3.
Montana ended up beating Weber State with a final score of 6-1.
"It was a great win over Weber State," Nord said. "Winning the doubles point started the match off on the right track."
Zima was the only player from Montana to drop a match to Weber State; Zima lost in three sets: 6-2, 2-6, 7-6.
The following day, Montana took on Lewis and Clark State College. In that dual Montana ended up winning with a final score of 5-2.
UM won two of the three doubles matches, with only Zima and Kohlschreiber losing in the No. 1 slot.
In singles play Fjeldheim, Janairo, Kohlschreiber and Cooney all won in straight sets.
On March 16, during the final day of the invite, Montana took on host Boise State.
Boise State swept Montana in doubles play and won five of the six singles matches.
The women's tennis team has a week to prepare for the UC Irvine Invitational, which will be held March 23-25.
The men's tennis team will be at home this weekend, taking on MSU-Billings on Friday, then playing Montana State on Saturday.
