LAS VEGAS – The UTSA women's tennis team defeated Youngstown State 4-0 Friday afternoon at the Fertitta Tennis Complex at UNLV.
"Started slow in doubles, but were able to win the point," head coach Ki Kroll said. "I thought we fought hard in singles winning all six first sets. We'll have to build on today against a tough Florida Atlantic team tomorrow."
