EASTERN NEW MEXICO DOWNS TEXAS WOMAN’S, 7-2
PORTALES, NM — Eastern New Mexico University swept all three doubles flights, then won 4 of 6 singles matches, to defeat visiting Texas Woman’s University, 7-2, in a Lone Star Conference tennis match, Mar. 18 at the Zia Tennis Complex. ENMU, ranked #14 in NCAA Division II, improved to 4-3 on the season (4-1 LSC), while TWU fell to 5-4 (3-4 LSC).

Eastern’s top doubles team of sophomore Layla Turner (Casa Grande, AZ/Casa Grande Union H.S.) and senior Julie Stiles (Roswell, NM/Goddard H.S.) defeated TWU’s Setareh Rambally and Sheila Paguyo, 8-3, to lead the doubles sweep.

Sarah Pennington (So., Sweetwater, TX/Sweetwater H.S.) and Lisa Weinman (Fr., Albuquerque, NM/West Mesa H.S.) won #2 doubles, 8-2, over Leanne Dalby and Kristel Race, 8-3. Mandy Wells (Fr., Pampa, TX/Pampa H.S.) and Sarah Salazar (Fr., Albuquerque, NM/Saint Pius X H.S.) won #3 doubles, 8-2, over Lindsey Reinke and Sherry Osier of TWU.

Turner was victorious at #1 singles over Rambally, 6-3, 6-4. Stiles, who is recovering from a knee injury, did not play singles, so the remaining Zias moved up a flight. Weinman won #2 singles over Paguyo, 6-2, 6-1, and Pennington took #3 singles, 6-2, 7-5 over Dalby.

Wells also recorded a victory for ENMU, as she defeated Race, 6-1, 6-3. TWU’s only wins came at #5 and #6 singles. Lindsey Reinke outlasted Salazar, 2-6, 6-4, 10-7 (tie-breaker) at #5 singles, and Sherry Osier defeated Betsy Cata (So., Espanola, NM/ Espanola Valley H.S.), 6-3, 6-0.
