The Montana women's tennis team picked up its first win of the season on Friday, beating a shorthanded Lewis-Clark State team 7-0 on the road in Lewiston, Idaho.

The Grizzlies earned the doubles point and took straight-set wins on three of four courts in singles while picking-up two wins by forfeit, with the Warriors reeling from injury and only five players active.
Â
The win puts Montana at 1-6 on the season and serves as a tune-up for Saturday's match in Pullman against Washington State. Lewis-Clark State falls to 3-7 on the season.

"We did nice work focusing on the matches in front of us and putting in the work to get the job done. LCSC did a nice job competing, and we focused and took care of business. We're excited to move on to Washington State tomorrow," said head coach Steve Ascher.
Â
Montana had little trouble clinching the doubles point, with Kelsey Phillips and Hailey Murphy paring up on court one to beat LCSC's Boylan/Molfe pair 6-1, and the senior combo of Olivia Oosterbaan and Maria Goheen beating the Lucas/Govea pair 6-2 to put UM up 1-0.
Â
In singles, Murphy improved to 5-2 on the season with a win on court one over Lina Boylan (6-1, 6-0). Goheen took her second-straight win on court two, beating Beatritz Lambru 6-2, 6-0 to improve to 3-4 on the year.
Â
Rosie Sterk then beat Bonolo Molofe on court three 6-1, 6-3 for her second win of the year.
Â
The final win of the day for Montana came in a superbreaker, with Shivika Agrawal beating ana Govea 6-2, 2-6, 1-0 (6).
