SAN ANTONIO — UTSA got back on the winning track with a 7-0 home shutout of Prairie View A&M on Saturday at the UTSA Tennis Center.
The Roadrunners (7-7) jumped on top early by easily winning both completed doubles matches.
Lina Hallgren and Charleen Tiwari blanked Shaddae Findley and Timara Maxwell on the third court and that quickly was followed by a 6-1 victory by Denisa Ibrahimovic and Sonia Madroñal Medina against Tatiana Ruhl and Sydney Thomas at the second spot in the lineup.
It was all UTSA in singles play, as well, as the Birds won all six contests against the Lady Panthers (3-18), five of which were in straight sets.
Miriam Rosell Canudas, the nation's 103rd-ranked player, improved to a perfect 14-0 this spring with her 6-0, 6-1 triumph against Neharika Rama on center court. That was followed by Hallgren's 6-0, 6-1 win against Thomas at the third position and Laura Cabrera then clinched the match victory with a 6-3, 6-0 decision against Findley on court No. 4.
Other winners for UTSA included Kylee Kato at the fifth spot (6-0, 6-3 vs. Trinity Randolph), Ibrahimovic on court two (6-1, 6-4 vs. Stacy Lackey) and Madroñal Medina at the sixth position (3-6, 6-2, 1-0 [10-5] vs. Maxwell).
