TUCSON, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona University women's tennis team fell to No. 58 University of Arizona this afternoon (Feb. 13) with a final score of 5-0. The Lumberjacks drop to 3-4 and Arizona moves to 4-2 on the year, but Head Coach Kim Bruno and her crew have a quick turnaround tomorrow facing their third Big Sky opponent in Portland State.

"I'm not 100 percent satisfied with our performance," Bruno said.  "We had our opportunities today, but we are still figuring out some pieces. We aren't quite grasping that everyone has to show up every day and play for one another, but when we figure that out, we will be unstoppable."

There was no turning back for the Wildcats after they captured the doubles point with wins on courts one and three. No. 56 Lauren Marker and Shayne Austin were able to walk away with a win against Hanneke Lodewijks and Blanka Szavay, who have proved how dominant they can be this season. Arizona's Camila Wesbrooks and Devin Chypyha clinched the doubles point after defeating junior Sara Brown and senior Jordan Denesik 6-3.

Two unfinished matches and four wins in singles play rounded out Arizona's 5-0 finish. Lodewijks, who has played at No. 1 singles all season as a freshman, faced No. 39 Marker and fell 6-4, 6-4. Szavay, Hailey Rochin and Denesik also dropped their singles matches on courts two, four and five respectively.

"We've talked through a lot of things and now it's just action time," Bruno commented. "We have the ability, we just need to execute with energy and play for one another. That starts tomorrow (Feb. 14) at Portland State."
